1. Santo! Santo! Santo! Deus onipotente!
Cedo de manhã cantaremos Teu louvor.
Santo! Santo! Santo! Deus, Jeová triúno!
És um só Deus, excelso Criador.

2. Santo! Santo! Santo! Todos os remidos,
Juntos com os anjos proclamam Teu louvor.
Antes de formar-se o firmamento e a Terra,
Eras e sempre és, e hás de ser Senhor.

3. Santo! Santo! Santo! Nós, os pecadores,
Não podemos ver Tua glória sem tremor.
Tu somente és santo; não há nenhum outro
Puro e perfeito, excelso Benfeitor.

4. Santo! Santo! Santo! Deus onipotente!
Tuas obras louvam Teu nome com fervor.
Santo! Santo! Santo! Justo e compassivo!
És um só Deus, supremo Criador.

Author: Reginald Heber

Reginald Heber was born in 1783 into a wealthy, educated family. He was a bright youth, translating a Latin classic into English verse by the time he was seven, entering Oxford at 17, and winning two awards for his poetry during his time there. After his graduation he became rector of his father's church in the village of Hodnet near Shrewsbury in the west of England where he remained for 16 years. He was appointed Bishop of Calcutta in 1823 and worked tirelessly for three years until the weather and travel took its toll on his health and he died of a stroke.
