1 Ye watchers and ye holy ones,
Bright seraphs, cherubim, and thrones,
Raise the glad strain, Alleluia!
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, pow'rs,
Virtues, archangels, angel choirs,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
2 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,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
3 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:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
4 O friends, in gladness let us sing,
All heaven's anthems echoing,
Alleluia, alleluia!
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three-in-One,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
