O God We Praise Thee and Confess { O God We Praise Thee and Confess by paraphrase of Te Deum; 1-5: a supplement to the n ew versions of the Psalms of David, 1698, alt.; 6 -8: Hymnal, 1982 WARWICK-Samuel Stanley DUNDEE-Christopher Tye HALLON-John Warren O God, We Praise Thee, and Confess } O God, we praise thee, and confess That thou the only Lord And everlasting Father art, By all the earth adored. To thee all angels cry aloud, To thee the powers on high, The cherubim and seraphim, Continually do cry: Oh holy, holy, holy Lord, Whom heavenly hosts obey, The world is with the glory Filled of thy majestic sway! The apostles' glorious company, And prophets crowned with light, With all the martyrs' noble host, Thy constant praise recite. The holy Church in faith acclaimed Thy Son who for us died, Also the Holy Comforter, Our advocate and guide. Thou art the King of glory, Christ, The everlasting Son; Humbly thou cam'st to set us free, Nor Virgin womb did shun. When thou hadst overcome death's sting, And opened heaven's door, Thou didst ascend to God's right hand, In glory evermore. When thou shalt come to be our judge, Bring us who thou hast bought To dwell on high with all thy saints In joy surpassing thought.
