Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones

1Ye watchers and ye holy ones,
Bright seraphs, cherubim, and thrones,
Raise the glad strain, Alleluia!
Cry out, dominions, princedoms, powers,
Virtues, archangels, angels' choirs,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

2O higher than the cherubim,
More glorious than the seraphim,
Lead their praises, Alleluia!
Thou bearer of the eternal Word,
Most gracious, magnify the Lord,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

3Respond, ye souls in endless rest,
Ye patriarchs and prophets blessed,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong,
All saints triumphant, raise the song
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!
