The text of the Boer War Te Deum is as follows:



We praise Thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.


All the earth doth worship Thee: the Father everlasting.


To Thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.


To Thee Cherubin, and Seraphin: continually do cry,Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth;Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty: of Thy Glory.




The glorious company of the Apostles praise Thee.


The noble army of Martyrs: praise Thee.


The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge Thee;The Father: of an infinite Majesty;Thine honourable, true: and only Son.


Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter.Thou art the King of Glory: O Christ.Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father.




When Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man: Thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death: Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the Glory of the Father.




We believe that Thou shalt come: to be our Judge.We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants: whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints: in glory everlasting.O Lord, save Thy people: and bless Thine heritage.Govern them: and lift them up for ever.




Day by day: we magnify Thee;And we worship Thy Name: ever world without end.Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin.O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us.O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in Thee.O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.
