Holy, holy, holy, Lord, In the highest heavens adored

Representative Text

1 Holy, holy, holy Lord,
In the highest heavens adored,
Author of all nature's frame,
Father! hallowed be thy name.

2 Though estranged from thee in heart,
Doubtless thou our Father art:
From thy hand our spirits came:
Father! hallowed be thy name.

3 Nor by nature's tie alone
Thou art as our Father known:
Nearer now, in Christ, our claim:
Father! hallowed be thy name.

4 Born anew, oh, may we feel
Filial love, the Spirit's seal;
Cleansed from guilt, redeemed from shame:
Father! hallowed be thy name.

5 Whether, then, in want or wealth,
Joy or sorrow, pain or health,
Still our prayer shall be the same:
Father! hallowed be thy name.
