  (Soloists, Chorus and Orchestra)
  We praise thee, O Lord,
  We acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
  All the earth doth worship thee,
  The Father everlasting.
  To thee the angels cry aloud,
  The heavens and all the powers therein.
  To thee Cherubin and Seraphim continually cry:
  Holy, holy, holy! Lord God of Sabaoth,
  Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.
  (Tenor solo with orchestra, followed by chorus with orchestra, then bass soloist with orchestra)
  The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee,
  The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee,
  The holy church throughout all the world
  Doth acknowledge thee,
  The Father of an infinite majesty,
  Thine honourable, true and only son,
  Also the Holy Ghost the Comforter.
  Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ,
  Thou art the Everlasting Son of the Father.
  (Alto solo with solo recorder and orchestra, joined by chorus)
  When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man,
  Thou didst not shun the Virgin's womb.
  When thou had'st overcome the sharpness of death,
  Thou did'st open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
  Thou sittest at the right hand of God
  In the glory of the Father.
  We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge.
  We therefore pray thee help our servants,
  Whom thou has redeemed with thy precious blood.
  Make them to be number'd with thy Saints in glory everlasting
  O Lord, save thy people and bless thy heritage,
  Govern them and lift them up forever.
  (Soloists, chorus, solo trumpet and orchestra)
  Day by day we magnify thee,
  And we worship thy name for ever, world without end.
  (Alto solo with orchestra)
  Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin,
  O Lord, have mercy upon us,
  O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us
  As our trust is in thee.
  (Chorus with solo trumpet and orchestra)
  O Lord, in thee have I trusted,
  Let me never be confounded.
