The Only Lord

1O God, we praise Thee, and confess That Thou the only Lord And Everlasting Father art;
By all be Thou adored.
To Thee all angels cry aloud;
To Thee the pow'rs on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
Continually do cry,—

2"O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Whom heav'nly hosts obey,
The universe is glory fill'd With Thy majestic sway!"
The glad immortal company,
Arrayed in robes of light,
With all the saints in sinless worlds,
Thy constant praise recite.

3The holy Church thro'out the world,
O Lord, confesses Thee,
That Thou th'Eternal Father art,
Of boundless majesty!
Thee day by day we magnify,
Thy mercy we implore,
To keep us this day without sin,
And guard us evermore.
