Tune: | GROSSER GOTT |
1 Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you.
Saints on earth your rule acclaim;
all in heaven above adore you.
Infinite your vast domain;
everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heavens with sweet accord:
holy, holy, holy Lord.
3 All apostles join the strain
as your sacred name they hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow,
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.
4 Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name you,
while in essence only One;
undivided God, we claim you,
and adoring bend the knee
while we own the mystery.
