Filled with celestial resplendence and light,
These that, where night never followeth day,
Raise the "Thrice holy Lord!" ever and aye.
2 These are Thy ministers; these dost thou own,
Lord God of Sabaoth! nearest Thy throne.
These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send,
Help of the helpless ones! man to defend.
3 Still let them succor us; still let them fight,
Lord of angelic hosts! battling for right:
Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
We with the angels may bow and adore. Topics: The Church Year Michaelmas Used With Tune: TRISAGION Text Sources: Greek
