The Joy of Heaven

You are the basis, and reason, for all things. All of heaven adores you and exalts you; you are the joy of heaven. Since time immemorial you have delighted and gladdened the blessed hosts. They eagerly hearken to your words, they yearn to attend to you, they rejoice in serving you. They know you, and love you, blessed Son. Hymns and homage fill heaven with the sounds of your praise and admiration, holy King. Your palace is abuzz with the glad sounds of your praises, chiming your glorious story, and our Father’s supreme sacrifice—the Joy of Heaven.
