English.png English text

To thee of right belongs
all praise of holy songs.
O Son of God life giver.
Thee therefore O Most High
The world doth glorify
and shall exalt for ever.
Now ere day fadeth quite
We see the evening light.
Our wonted hymn outpouring
Father of might unknown.
Thee, his incarnate Son,
and Holy Spirit adoring.
