OR ENGLISH SONG

CEL: Praising You with a loud voice unceasingly,
They proclaim.

ALL: Holy be the Lord, God forever / Holy be the mighty one
Heaven and earth are filled with His glory.
Hosanna in the highest / Hosanna to the Son of David.
Blessed is who comes / And comes again
As the King of Ages is great / Hosanna in the highest.

(The celebrant kisses the altar and says the following
prayer in a low voice.)
God the Father, You are holy. You alone are the true Father!
All Fatherhood in heaven and on earth comes from you. Eter-
nal Son, You are holy. Everything was created through You.
Holy Spirit, You are Holy. Everything is sanctified through
You.
Woe to me! I am dismayed! For, my lips are unclean. And I
live in the midst of people with unclean lips. My eyes have
seen the King, the almighty Lord. How awe-inspiring is this
place / where today I have seen the Lord face to face! This is
none other than the House of God! Lord, may your mercy be
on us. Clean us who are unclean and sanctify our lips. Lord,
enjoin the hymns of us, who are feeble, with the praises of the
Seraphim and the Archangels. Praise be to your mercy that
has unified the inhabitants of heaven and earth.
