Holy,
Holy, Holy - Reginald Heber, 1783-1826
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, blessèd 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,
Who was, and is,
and evermore shall be.
Holy, holy, holy!
though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of
sinful man Thy glory may not see;
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!
