the cherubim and seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ in hearts of all that love me,

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.

For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
