Canticle 2

A Song of Praise

Benedictus es, Domine

Song of the Three Young Men, 29-34

Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.

Blessed are thou for the name of thy Majesty; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.

Blessed are thou in the temple of thy holiness; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.

Blessed are thou that beholdest the depths, and dwellest between the Cherubim; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.

Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of thy kingdom; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.

Blessed are thou in the firmament of heaven; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.

Blessed are thou, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; *
praised and exalted above all for ever.
