Te Deum Laudamus, SAC Morning Prayer Service

Описание: At the time of this recording, the Sunday Morning Prayer service is held in St Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore, every second and fourth Sunday of each month.

This is our attempt at the Te Deum Laudamus, interpreted as faithfully as we could from the notation used by the choir under Mr Lim Chin Kai. The Te Deum is unique among the canticles used by the Cathedral in that it places three Anglican Chants together in a narrative structure. As always, please excuse any errors you might hear (and the frazzled hair XD), as well as the very modest video and sound quality!

We dearly hope that this recording can be informative to anyone who might be moved by (or interested in) service liturgies that draw from the Diocese's inherited tradition.

You are God and we praise you
You are the Lord and we acclaim you

You are the eternal Father
All creation worships you.

To you all angels, * All the powers of heaven:
Cherubim & seraphim sing in endless praise.

Holy, holy, holy Lord * God of power and might
Heaven and earth are full of your glory

The glorious company of apostles praise you
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white robed army of martyrs praise you.

Throughout the world the holy church acclaims you
Father of majesty unbounded.

Your true and only Son * worthy of all worship
And the Holy Spirit advocate and guide

You Christ are the King of glory
the eternal Son of the Father.

When you became man to set us free
You did not abhor the Virgin’s womb.

You overcame the sting of death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

You are seated at God’s right hand in glory
We believe that you will come and be our judge.

Come then Lord and help your people
bought with the price of your own blood.

And bring us with your Saints
to glory everlasting.

Save your people Lord and bless your inheritance
govern and uphold them now and always.

Day by day we bless you
We praise your name forever

Keep us today Lord from all sin
Have mercy on us Lord have mercy.

Lord show us your love and mercy
for we put our trust in you.

In you Lord is our hope
Let us not be confounded at the last.
