132. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty

1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty,
early in the morning to you our praise shall be;
holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessèd 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,
God everlasting through eternity.

3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide you,
though the sinful human eye 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, blessèd Trinity.
