Antiphon (2)

Chorus Praised be the God of love,

Men Here below,

Angels And here above:
Chorus Who hath dealt his mercies so,

Angels To his friend,

Men And to his foe;

Chorus That both grace and glorie tend

Angels Us of old,

Men And us in th’ end.
Chorus The great shepherd of the fold

Angels Us did make,

Men For us was sold.

Chorus He our foes in pieces brake;

Angels Him we touch;

Men And him we take.
Chorus Wherefore since that he is such,

Angels We adore,

Men And we do crouch.

Chorus Lord, thy praises should be more.

Men We have none,

Angels And we no store.
Chorus Praised be the God alone,
Chorus Who hath made of two folds one.
