My Purchased Files308. Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones
1 Ye watchers and ye holy ones,
Bright seraphs, cherubim, and thrones,
Raise the glad strain: "Alleluia!"
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, pow'rs,
Archangels, virtues, angel choirs:
"Alleluia, alleluia!"
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2 Respond, O souls in endless rest,
Ye patriarchs and prophets blest:
"Alleluia, alleluia!"
Ye holy Twelve, ye martyrs strong,
All saints triumphant, raise the song:
"Alleluia, alleluia!"
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
3 O friends, in gladness let us sing,
Eternal anthems echoing:
"Alleluia, alleluia!"
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One:
"Alleluia, alleluia!"
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
