The Psalms of David ‎#H36

H36. Third Command

1 Holy and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry,
Thrice holy, let us sing.

2 Holy is he in all his works,
And truth is his delight;
But sinners and their wicked ways
Shall perish from his sight.

3 The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul to God;
Lift with thy hands, a holy heart
To his sublime abode.

4 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
Abhor the lips prophane;
Let not thy tongue the lord blaspheme,
Nor take his name in vain.

5 Thou holy God! preserve my soul
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart, and hands, and lips
Alone thy face shall see.
