To You Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Your glory. The glorious company of the Apostles praise You. The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise You. The noble army of Martyrs praise You. The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge You.
