Haydn: Te Deum

Te Deum laudamus,
te Dominum confitemur.
Te aeternum Patrem
omnis terra veneratur.
Tibi omnes Angeli,
tibi caeli, et universae Potestates,
tibi Cherubim et Seraphim
incessabili voce proclamant:
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra
majestatis gloriae tuae.

Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus,
te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus,
te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbem terrarum
sancta confitetur Ecclesia,
Patrem immensae majestatis;
venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.

Tu rex gloriae, Christe.
Tu Patris sempiternus es Filius.
Tu, ad liberandum suscepturus hominem,
non horruisti Virginis uterum.
Tu, devicto mortis aculeo,
aperuisti credentibus regna caelorum.
Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes,
in gloria Patris.
Judex crederis esse venturus.

Te ergo quaesumus, amulis tuis subveni,
quos pretioso sanguine redemisti.

Aeterna fac cum Sanctis tuis
in gloria numerari.

Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine,
et benedic hereditati tuae.
Et rege eos et extolle illos usque in aeternum.
Per singulos dies benedicimus te.
Et laudamus nomen tuum
in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi.
Dignare, Domine, die isto
sine peccato nos custodire.
Miserere nostri, Domine,
miserere nostri!
Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos,
quemadmodum speravimus in te.
In te, Domine, speravi:
non confundar in aeternum.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
We praise you, O God,
we acknowledge you to be the Lord.
You, the Father everlasting,
all the earth does worship.
To you all the angels,
to you the heavens, and all the powers,
to you the Cherubim and Seraphim
cry out without ceasing:
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full
of the majesty of your glory.

You, the glorious choir of the apostles,
you, the admirable company of prophets,
you, the white-robed army of martyrs do praise.
You, the holy Church
throughout the world does confess:
The Father of incomprehensible majesty;
your adorable, true, and only Son;
and the Holy Spirit the Paraclete.

You, O Christ, are the King of glory.
You are the everlasting Son of the Father.
You, having taken upon yourself to deliver humanity,
did not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
You, having overcome the sting of death,
have opened to believers the kingdom of heaven.
You sit at the right hand of God,
in the glory of the Father.
You, we believe, are the Judge to come.

We beseech you, therefore, to help your servants,
whom you have redeemed with your precious Blood.

Make them to be numbered with your Saints
in glory everlasting.

Save your people, O Lord,
and bless your inheritance.
And govern them, and exalt them for ever.
Day by day we bless you.
And we praise your name
always and for ever.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day
to keep us without sin.
Have mercy on us, O Lord,
have mercy on us!
Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
as we have trusted in you.
In you, O Lord, have I trusted:
let me not be confounded for ever.
