1 As priest with solemn rites and adorations I honour heaven and earth, the High and Holy, the signs of God. To them, great creations, have sages of ancient time, singing, assigned precedence. 2 With newest hymns set in the seat of Order, those two, born before all others, come, heaven and earth, with the people of the angels, hither to us, for strong is your protection. 3 Yea, heaven and earth, ye hold in your possession full many a treasure for the liberal giver. Grant us that wealth which comes in free abundance. Preserve us evermore with blessings.
