Te Deum Laudamus.

THEE we adore, eternal Lord!

We praise Thy Name with one accord;
Thy saints, who here Thy goodness see,
Through all the world do worship Thee.

2 To Thee aloud all angels cry,

And ceaseless raise their songs on high,
Both cherubin and seraphin,

The heavens and all the powers therein.

3 The Apostles join the glorious throng;
The Prophets swell the immortal song;
The Martyrs' noble army raise
Eternal anthems to Thy praise.

4 Thee, holy, holy, holy King!
Thee, the Lord God of hosts, they sing:
Thus earth below, and heaven above,
Resound Thy glory and Thy love.

Thomas Collerill [1810].

3 O Holy Spirit, Fount of breath,
Whose comforts never fail nor fade,
Vouchsafe the life that knows no death,
Vouchsafe the light that knows no shade;
And grant that we through all our days
May share Thy gifts, and sing Thy praise.

Variation by T. Darling, 1857. From John Quarles, 1654.

II.—God the Creator.

"I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible."

PSALM C.

ALL people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice:
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before Him, and rejoice.

2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed,
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His flock, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.

3 O enter then His gates with praise;
Approach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? the Lord our God is good;

His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

J. Hopkins (Old Version), 1562.
