Words from Holy Trinity

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!... Blessed be the Holy Trinity and the Undivided Unity; let us give glory to Him because He has shown His mercy to us!... You have given us grace to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity by the confession of a true faith and to worship the Unity in the power of the Divine Majesty. Keep us steadfast in this faith... Blessed are You, O Lord, who beholds the deep, and who dwells between the cherubim... Blessed are You, O God of our Fathers, and greatly to be praised and glorified forever... And the catholic faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, neither confusing the persons nor dividing the substance... Praise we the Father and the Son And Holy Spirit with them One, And may the Son on us bestow The gifts that from the Spirit flow!... In the confession of the only true God, we worship the Trinity in person and Unity in substance of majesty coequal... Isaiah, mighty seer, in spirit soared and saw enthroned in majesty the Lord... Maker of all things, all Thy creatures praise Thee; All for Thy worship were and are created... Then the holy, holy, holy celebration jubilee Thine the splendor Thine the brightness only Thee, only Thee

if you had been down to these parts you could add to your list - "Holy God we praise Thy name... and from morn to set of sun through the Church the song goes on."
