Te Deum at Westminster Abbey

We commend this rendition for Morning Prayer, the Te Deum from Westminster Abbey.

Todays lections in Daniel with this as a responsorial is fitting. How shall Anglicans commend their doctrine, worship and piety if they do not practice it? Let Anglican clerics take note. How many Anglican clergymen are following the 1662 BCP, lections, and varied Canticles and Psalms for singing? Pray tell, how many?

This is our patrimony, including the sufficiency, sovereignty and supremacy of Sacred Writ. Cranmer surely wanted the Word of God to suffuse his benighted nation. That storyline still preaches.

Anglican clerics and churchmen will recognize the words in the Te Deum.

For the Non-Anglicans, here are the words followed by the rendition from Westminster. Interestingly, Bible-believing charismatics are writing and expressing interest. Show em' the Bible and they--rightly--will follow. Buck up, all hands, and learn the words.

We praise thee, O God :
we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee :
the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud :
the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubin and Seraphin :
continually do cry,
Holy, Holy, Holy :
Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty :
of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles : praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets : praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs : praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world :
doth acknowledge thee;
The Father : of an infinite Majesty;
Thine honourable, true : and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost : the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory : O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son : of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man :
thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death :
thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God : in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come : to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants :
whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints : in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people :
and bless thine heritage.
Govern them : and lift them up for ever.
Day by day : we magnify thee;
And we worship thy Name : ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord : to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us : have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us :
as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted :
let me never be confounded.
