Éternel, nous t'exaltons, de concert avec les anges, et prosternés devant toi, nous t'adorons: louange à toi! 2 L'illustre choeur des témoins, des disciples, des prophètes; célèbre le Dieu sauveur dont ils sont les interprètes; et ton Église en tous lieux bénit ton nom glorieux. 3 Puisse ton règne de paix s'étendre sur tout le monde! Dès maintenant, à jamais, que sur la terre et sur l'onde, tous genoux soient abattus au nom du Seigneur Jésus. 4 Gloire soit au Saint-Esprit! Gloire soit à Dieu le vie! Gloire soit à Jésus-Christ, notre sauveur, notre ami! Son immense charité dure à perpétuité. English: 1 Holy God, we praise your name; God of all, we bow before you. All on earth your sceptre claim; all in heaven above adore you; Infinite your vast domain, everlasting is your reign. 2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: "Holy, holy, holy Lord." 3 Lo, the apostolic train joins your sacred Name to hallow; prophets swell the glad refrain, and the white-robed martyrs follow; and from morn till set of sun, through the Church the song goes on.

His glories now we sing, who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; and round his piercèd feet fair flowers of Paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me: thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
