Antiphon:
Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God:
he is the Holy One.

1. Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers;
praised and exalted above all for ever.

2. Blessed art thou for the Name of thy Majesty;
praised and exalted above all for ever.

3. Blessed art thou in the temple of thy holiness;
praised and exalted above all for ever.

4. Blessed art thou that beholdest the depths,
and dwellest between the Cherubim;
praised and exalted above all for ever.

5. Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of thy kingdom;
praised and exalted above all for ever.

6. Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven,
praised and exalted above all for ever.

7. Blessed art thou, O Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
praised and exalted above all for ever. [Ant.]
