See Te Deum 👈💜🙏🕊️

R.  Alleluia, alleluia.
We praise you, O God,
we acclaim you as Lord;
the white-robed army of martyrs praises you.  
R.  Alleluia, alleluia.

Interesting! I learn something new what I see an incipit on Latin:

“Te Deum Laudamus” means “We Praise you God” and comes from the first line of the hymn.” The below photo:

I study and learn deep interesting this Latin song borrows the language of Scripture is an anointing message on Isaiah 6:1 Isaiah’s vision of God on His glorious throne is used. I like this excellent article with beautiful elaboration Te Deum: O, God We Praise Thee

The Te Deum (from its incipit, Te deum laudamus “Thee, O God, we praise”) is a Latin Christian hymn composed in the 4th century. The authorship is traditionally ascribed to Saint Ambrose (d. 397) or Saint Augustine (d. 430), but it is now ascribed to Nicetas, Bishop of Remesiana. This prayer is said at the end of Matins on days when the Gloria is said at Mass. This prayer is partially indulgenced under normal circumstances when said in thanksgiving. A plenary indulgence is granted if the hymn is recited publicly on the last day of the year. 

Reading 1 

Rv 21:5-7

The One who was seated on the throne said:
“Behold, I make all things new.”
Then he said, “Write these words down,
for they are trustworthy and true.”
He said to me, “They are accomplished.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
To the thirsty I will give a gift 
from the spring of life-giving water.
The victor will inherit these gifts,
and I shall be his God,
and he will be my son.”
