211. Holy, Holy, Holy

1 Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

2 Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth, and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.
