1 Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Be thy glorious name adore'd!
Lord, thy mercies never fail:
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
2 Tho' unworthy, Lord, thine ear,
Our humble hallelujahs hear:
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around thy throne we sing.
3 While on earth ordain'd to stay,
Guide our footsteps in thy way,
Till we come to reign with thee,
And all thy glorious greatness see.
4 Then no tongue shall silent be;
All shall join in harmony;
That, thro' heav'n's all-spacious round,
Thy praise, O God, may ever sound.
4 Lord, thy mercies never fail:
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
Holy, holy, holy, Lord,
Be thy glorious Name ador'd!
