Composer: | John Bacchus Dykes |
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 of sinfulness 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!
