lyrics

Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The eternal gifts of Christ the king,
the apostles' glory, let us sing;
and all with hearts of gladness, raise
due hymns of thankful love and praise.

For they the church's princes are,
triumphant leaders in the war,
in heavenly courts a warrior band,
true lights to lighten every land.

Theirs is the steadfast faith of saints
and hope that never yields or faints,
and love of Christ in perfect glow
that lays the prince of this world low.

In them the Father's glory shone,
in them the will of God the Son,
in them exults the Heavenly Ghost,
through them rejoice the heavenly
host.

To you, redeemer, now we cry,
that you would join to them on high
your servants, who this grace implore,
for ever and for evermore.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.
