Gustav Holst
Short Festival Te Deum
We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord
All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting
To thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the Powers therein
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim: continually do cry
Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty: of thy glory
The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets: praise thee
The noble army of Martyrs: praise thee
The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge thee;
The Father: of an infinite Majesty;
Thine honourable, true: and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter
Thou art the King of Glory: O Christ
Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man: thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death:
Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers
Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the glory of the Father
We believe that thou shalt come: to be our Judge
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants: whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints: in glory everlasting
O Lord, save thy people: and bless thine heritage
Govern them: and lift them up for ever
Day by day: we magnify thee; And we worship thy Name: ever world without end
Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin
O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in thee
O Lord, in thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded
