Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones

Ye watch­ers and ye ho­ly ones

Bright ser­aphs

Raise the glad strain

Al­le­lu­ia!

Cry out

Virtues

arch­an­gels

an­gels’ choirs:

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia!

O high­er than the cher­ub­im

More glo­ri­ous than the se­ra­phim

Lead their prais­es

Al­le­lu­ia!

Thou bear­er of th’eter­nal Word

Most gra­cious

mag­ni­fy the Lord.

Respond

ye souls in end­less rest

Ye pa­tri­archs and pro­phets blest

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Ye ho­ly twelve

ye mar­tyrs strong

All saints tri­umph­ant

raise the song.

O friends

in glad­ness let us sing

Supernal an­thems ec­ho­ing

Alleluia! All­el­uia!

To God the Fa­ther

God the Son

And God the Spir­it

Three in One.
