Ever thus, in God’s high praises,
                                        
                                        Brethren, let our tongues unite,
                                        
                                        While our thought His greatness raises,
                                        
                                        And our love His gifts excite;
                                        
                                        With His seraph train before Him,
                                        
                                        With His holy Church below,
                                        
                                        Thus conspire we to adore Him,
                                        
                                        Bid we thus our anthem flow.
