Christ in Song ‎#327

327. 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 over all, who rules eternity.

2 Holy, holy, holy! angels adore thee,
Casting down their bright crowns around the glassy sea;
Thousands and ten thousands worship low before thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, holy, holy! though darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of man thy great glory may not see;
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity.
