Author: Athelstan Riley Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #9 (1999) Meter: 8.8.4.4.8.8 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 Ye watchers and ye holy ones,
Bright seraphs, cherubim and thrones,
Raise the glad strain, Alleluia!
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, powers,
Virtues, archangels, angels' 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 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,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
AMEN. Topics: Adoration and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: LASST UNS ERFREUEN
