Glancing at Frere's History of the BCP, he remarks that the 1549 version had
a Proper Preface for Trinity Sunday which ended with the different cue "whom
the Angels &c." , but the full translation of the Latin from the Sarum Mass
was not given (and by 1552 it reverted back to the common form used on all
other occasions). He quotes the Sarum Missal as having two alternative
fixed endings in ordinary use, the second being
Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
Per quem majestatem tuam laudant Angeli,
adorant Dominationes,
tremunt Potestates, Coeli, coelorumque Virtutes,
ac beata Seraphin, socia exultatione concelebrant.
Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admitti jubeas deprecamur,
supplici confessione dicentes ; "
One wonders what happened on Trinity Sunday 1550 and 1551 when they used the
BCP and the English translation wasn't there.

Tim
