TE DEUM
HYMN OF SS. AMBROSE AND AUGUSTINE
We praise Thee, O God; we ao knowledge Thee to be the Lord.
Thee, the Father everlasting, all the earth doth worship.
To Thee all the angels, to Thee the heavens, and all the powers,
To Thee the cherubim and seraphim cry out without ceasing:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.
Full are the heavens and the earth of the majesty of Thy glory.
Thee the glorious choir of the apostles.
Thee the admirable company of the prophets.
