1 Holy, holy, holy Lord
God of Hosts, eternal King,
By the heavens and earth adored;
Angels and archangels sing,
Chanting everlastingly
To the blessed Trinity.
2 Since by thee were all things made,
And in thee do all things live,
Be in thee all honor paid;
Praise to thee may all things give,
Singing everlastingly
To the blessed Trinity. A-men.
3 Thousands, tens of thousands stand,
Spirits blest, before thy throne,
Speeding thence at thy command;
And when thy behests are done,
Singing everlastingly
To the blessèd Trinity.
4 Alleluia! Lord, to thee,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Godhead One, and persons Three;
Join we with the heavenly host,
Singing everlastingly
To the blessed Trinity. A-men.
Amen.
