Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song of praise shall be:
‘Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, glorious Trinity!’

2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore you,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
cherubim and seraphim falling down before you:
you were and are, and evermore shall be!

3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide you,
though the eye of sinful man your glory may not see,
you alone are holy, there is none beside you,
perfect in power, in love and purity.

4. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!
All your works shall praise your name, in earth and sky and sea:
‘Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, glorious Trinity!’
