Isn't this "Te Deum" from the Book of Common Prayer glorious? I love this version.

I thought it said, "and bless thine inheritance."

. . . pause while I check the old BCP . . .

I went all the way back to the 1662 Book, and it's "heritage." The "new" book severely truncates the Te Deum and that part is omitted. Don't know how "inheritance" got into my memory banks.

Looks like it is, or close to it, and therefore also from the Anglican Usage liturgy.

We chant it this way in Anglican Chant at Our Lady of Walsingham.
