And just before you think the Germans invented concentration camps, the Brits were already using them during the Second Boer War. Down with imperialism in all its forms.
Text:
We praise Thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship Thee: the Father everlasting, the Father everlasting.
All the earth doth worship Thee: the Father everlasting, 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 goodly fellowship of the Prophets, praise Thee.
The noble army of Martyrs, praise Thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge Thee;
The Father: of an infinite, 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 King of Glory: O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father,
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, to all believers.
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, in glory everlasting, 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.
Day by, day by, day by day: we magnify Thee;
And we worship Thy Name: ever world without end.
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, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded, let me never be confounded, let me never be confounded, confounded.
O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in Thee, let Thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in Thee.
In Thee I have trusted, in Thee o Lord: let me never be confounded, let me never be confounded, let me never be confounded, let me never be confounded, let me never be confounded.
We praise Thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship Thee: the Father everlasting, the Father everlasting.
All the earth doth worship Thee: the Father everlasting, the Father everlasting, the Father, the Father everlasting. Amen.

I am French and I just love Arthur Sullivan's composition
Sadly, although having already completed this spectacular work, Sir Arthur Sullivan died on November 22nd, 1900, almost a year before the final conclusion of the Second Boer War. He had already contributed vastly to the Fund set up to provide for the wives and families of serving soldiers by his setting of "The Absent-Minded Beggar" with words by Rudyard Kipling in the year of his death, sales of only the sheet music of which raised something like the equivalent of £20,000,000 in today's terms. Performances of the Te Deum thereafter played a major part in celebrations to mark the end of the war the following year.
I love this 💕
Proof that there was more to Arthur Sullivan than just the ampersand.
Never heard this before. Superb & with his own Onward Christian Soldiers to the fore but never sung . Excellent!
Yes, this was an adaptation of the 1871 hymn tune "St. Gertrude" to which "Onward Christian Soldiers" (written by the Victorian clergyman Sabine Baring-Gould) is sung.
A very beautiful composition! Sadly, Sullivan is very underrated.
I’m afraid the 🇺🇸had concentration camps too; the infamous Andersonville camp in Georgia during the 1861-1865 civil war 😢
Come, be fair. That was not the US, it was the CSA, a different country. It was not a 'concentration camp' but a POW camp, and the CSA was short on all provisions of all kinds throughout the war. Even their own soldiers were short of food and shoes.
