Angel Spirits, ever Blessèd, offer praise on high unceasing,
Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabaoth.
Saints and Martyrs Blessèd praise Thy Name, Trinity Lifegiving,
Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabaoth.
In the angelic Song, let us join before Thy Throne on high, Blessèd, Blessèd Trinity
Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabaoth.
Amen.
Glory be to God in the highest.
With the angelic Throng, we join in Songs of Praise for ever.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
