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!
O bearer of the eternal Word,
Most gracious, magnify the Lord,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

3 Respond, ye souls in endless rest,
Ye patriarchs and prophets blest,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Ye holy Twelve, ye martyrs strong,
All saints triumphant, raise in song,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

4 O friends, in gladness let us sing,
Celestial anthems echoing,
Alleluia, alleluia!
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three-in-One,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
