Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song
shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed
Trinity.
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints
adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling
down before thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore
shall be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the
darkness hide thee,
Though the sinful human eye thy
glory may not sea,
Only thou art holy; there is none
beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and
purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy
Name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed
Trinity.
