By A Collection of Hymns

      6-8s. "Te Deum laudamus."
      1 INFINITE God, to thee we raise
      Our hearts in solemn songs of praise,
      By all thy works on earth adored,
      We worship thee, the common Lord;
      The everlasting Father own,
      And bow our souls before thy throne.

      2 Thee all the choir of angels sings,
      The Lord of hosts, the King of kings;
      Cherubs proclaim thy praise aloud,
      And seraphs shout the Triune God;
      And, "Holy, holy, holy," cry,
      "Thy glory fills both earth and sky!"

      3 God of the patriarchal race,
      The ancient seers record thy praise,
      The goodly apostolic band
      In highest joy and glory stand;
      And all the saints and prophets join
      To extol thy majesty divine.

      4 Head of the martyrs' noble host,
      Of thee they justly make their boast;
      The church, to earth's remotest bounds,
      Her heavenly Founder's praise resounds;
      And strives, with those around the throne,
      To hymn the mystic Three in One.

      5 Father of endless majesty,
      All might and love they render thee;
      Thy true and only Son adore,
      The same in dignity and power;
      And God the Holy Ghost declare,
      The saints' eternal Comforter.
