Author: Athelstan Riley Meter: 8.8.4.4.8.4 Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye 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!
2 O higher than the cherubim,
More glorious than the seraphim,
Lead their praises,
Alleluia!
Thou bearer of th'Eternal Word,
Most gracious, magnify the Lord,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia!
3 Respond, ye souls in endless rest,
Ye patriarchs and prophets blest,
Alleluia,
Alleluia!
Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong,
All saints triumphant, raise the song,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia!
4 O friends, in gladness let us sing
Supernal anthems echoing,
Alleluia,
Alleluia!
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia!
