from every creature. For, in Your great kindness / You created
the world and everything in it / and showed humanity Your im-
mense mercy. Multitudes of heavenly hosts / and thousands upon
thousands of holy angels / and hosts of spiritual ministers of fire
and spirit / bow down and adore You, O Most High! And they
glorify Your name / and offer You worship / together with the
holy Cherubim and Seraphim.
