Alleluia: cantor: Alleluia. all: Alleluia. cantor: V. Let the righteous be glad, let them delight in the presence of God; let them delight in gladness. all: Alleluia.
Sequence: Behold, our alleluia ringeth out
In the beauteous voices of those singing.
Telling those assembling here
Of a glorious repose.
The hosts of many angels,
Made yet more joyful, shine with brilliance,
"Holy, Holy, Holy," is their acclamation,
Made joyously unto Christ.
In the lofty throne of the apostles,
The radiant Light judgeth all the tribes and tongues,
Thus, reckoning all things as but a prideful dung-heap,
They shine like the stars amid the brilliant firmament.
Their necks are clothed in the white robes of martyrs,
These soldiers doing battle with the onslaughts of the world,
The saints are crowned with snow-white crowns,
For, making confession, they believed unto righteousness.
And, doing battle for the Faith,
They despised things vain and empty,
Now they possess the heavenly kingdom,
And in it, speaking gloriously, they triumph.
And canticles they utter, singing songs
With a skill that floweth with high praise,
In voices which resound in sweetness,
Submitting their necks to Christ the King.
Thou art highly acclaimed in the praise their spirits give,
To Thee rise shouts of joy from the choir of the virgins,
The multitudes of those who are blameless,
Sing Thee alleluia, sweetly chanting.
To Thee, O Christ, let there be praise
From all things and forevermore,
Who aidest us that make our song
Of things which are so worthy.
Let us also cry to Him: alleluia,
With beauteous voice of unity,
Grant us the eternal, flowering kingdom,
Where all of us may be singing: Alleluia!
