Lift Up Your Hearts!

Lift up your hearts!

We lift them up

unto The LORD.

Let us give thanks

unto The LORD GOD.

It is meet and right

so to do.

It is very meet, right, and

our bounden duty

that we should at all times

and in all places

give thanks

unto THEE,

O LORD,

HOLY FATHER,

ALMIGHTY,

EVER-LASTING GOD.

Who, in the multitude

of Thy mercy 

hast surrounded us

with so great

a crowd of Witnesses...

that we,

rejoicing in their fellowship,

may run with patience

the race

that is set before us...

that together , with them,

we may receive

the Crown of Glory

that fadeth not away.

Therefore, with Angels

and Archangels,

and with all

the Company of Heaven,

we laud and magnify

Thy Glorious Name 

evermore praising THEE

and saying...

HOLY

HOLY

HOLY

LORD GOD of HOSTS*

Heaven and earth are full

of Thy Glory

GLORY BE

TO THEE

O LORD MOST HIGH.

Amen.

* Hosts= Divine, Heavenly armies
