835. Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

1 Holy God, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before thee!
All on earth thy rule acclaim,
All in heav'n above adore thee;
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.

2 Hark! The loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord."
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord."

3 Lo! The apostolic train
Join, the sacred name to hallow;
Prophets swell the loud refrain,
And the white robed martyrs follow;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.

4 Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name thee;
While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim thee;
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
