Laudes Domini ‎#342

342. Foretold and Manifested

1 He is here, whom seers in old time
Chanted of, while ages ran;
Whom the writings of the prophets
Promised since the world began:
Then foretold, now manifested,
To receive the praise of man,
Evermore and evermore!

2 Praise him, O ye heaven of heavens!
Praise him, angels in the height!
Every power and every virtue,
Sing the praise of God aright:
Let no tongue of man be silent,
Let each heart and voice unite,
Evermore and evermore!

3 Thee let age, and thee let manhood,
Thee let choirs of infants sing;
Thee the matrons and the virgins,
And the children answering:
Let their modest song re-echo,
And their heart its praises bring,
Evermore and evermore!

4 Land and honor to the Father,
Land and honor to the Son,
Land and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One:
Consubstantial, co-eternal,
While unending ages run,
Evermore and evermore!
