Today’s hymn sung by St Martins in the Fields is: Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones

1 Ye watchers and ye holy ones,

bright Seraphs, Cherubim and Thrones,

raise the glad strain, Alleluia.

Cry out, Dominions, Princedoms, Powers,

Virtues, Archangels, Angels' choirs,

Alleluia.

2 O higher than the Cherubim,

more glorious than the Seraphim,

lead their praises, Alleluia.

Thou Bearer of the eternal Word,

most gracious, magnify the Lord.

Alleluia.

3 Respond, ye souls in endless rest,

ye Patriarchs and Prophets blest,

Alleluia, alleluia.

Ye holy Twelve, ye Martyrs strong,

all Saints triumphant, raise the song

Alleluia.

4 O friends, in gladness let us sing,

supernal anthems echoing,

Alleluia, alleluia.

To God the Father, God the Son,

and God the Spirit, Three in One,

Alleluia.

Athelstan Riley (1858-1945)
