Representative Text

1 O Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Bright in Thy deeds and in Thy name,
For ever be Thy Name adored,
Thy glories let the world proclaim.

2 O Jesus, Lamb once crucified
To take our load of sins away,
Thine be the hymn that rolls its tide
Along the realm of upper day.

3 O Holy Spirit from above,
In streams of light and glory given,
Thou source of ecstasy and love,
Thy praises ring through earth and heaven.

4 O God Triune, to Thee we owe
Our every thought, our every song;
And ever may Thy praises flow
From saints and seraphs burning tongue.

Hymnal: according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 1871
