Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones

Verse 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.
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Verse 2:
O higher than the cherubim,
More glorious than the seraphim,
Lead their praises, Alleluia!
Thou bearer of the eternal Word,
Most gracious, magnify the Lord.
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Verse 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.
Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
