Te Deum Hymn of Praises

To Thee, O God, we praise Thee; To Thee, Lord, we recognize Thee. To Thee, Eternal Father, all creation venerates Thee.

All the Angels, the Heavens, and all the Powers honor Thee. The Cherubim and Seraphim sing to Thee without ceasing: Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God of the Universe.

The Heavens and the earth are full of the Majesty of Thy glory. The glorious choir of the Apostles exalt Thee.
The admirable multitude of the Prophets exalt Thee. The white-robed army of the Martyrs exalt Thee.

To Thee the Holy Church extending throughout the entire earth, proclaims Thee as: Father of Immense Majesty;
Only and true Son, worthy of adoration, Holy Paraclete Spirit.

Thou art the King of Glory, Christ.
Thou art the only Son of the Father. Thou, to liberate mankind, accepted the human condition without rejecting the womb of the Virgin.

Thou, breaking the chains of death, opened to believers the Kingdom of Heaven. Thou art seated at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.

We believe that one day Thou shalt come as Judge. We therefore plead that Thou come to assist Your servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Your Precious Blood. Make it so that in eternal glory we become associated with Thy Saints.

Save Thine people, Lord, and bless Thine heritage. Be their Pastor and eternally exalt them. Day after day we bless Thee. And we praise Thy Name forever, for the eternity of eternities. Vouchsafe, Lord, in this day to guard us from sin.

Have pity for us, Lord, have pity for us. May Thy mercy, Lord, come over us, as we hope from Thee. In Thee, Lord, I have confided; do not let me be disappointed.

All: O GOD, whose mercy is infinite and goodness inexhaustible, we give thanks to Thy Divine Majesty, for the goodness we have received, imploring always Thy clemency so that, not abandoning those to whom Thou does grant what they ask for, Thou dispose them to receive the eternal recompenses.

O GOD, who has instructed the hearts of the faithful with the light of the Holy Spirit, grant by that same Spirit to know the correct ways and to always rejoice from Thine divine consolations.

O GOD, do not permit those who await in Thee, to be afflicted excessively, but instead deign Thou piously attend to our supplications: we give Thee thanks for having accepted our petitions and prayers, supplicating most piously that we deserve to see us free from all adversity.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.

Amen.
