The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8939

8939. Round The Throne of Glory

1 Round the throne of glory, circling cherubim
Raise their hallowed voices in the sacred hymn.
True their notes are blended, loud the strains they raise;
Through the courts eternal rolls the song of praise.

Refrain:
Holy, holy, holy, blessèd Trinity!
Heav’n and earth are fillèd with Thy majesty!

2 Earth hath many voices blended with the sea,
Pealing forth the anthem of their praise to Thee;
Night and day it rises, mingling with the song,
Which these sacred singers endlessly prolong. [Refrain]

3 One our heavenly Father, round whose throne we meet,
One our great Redeemer one our Paraclete;
Bound in living union, by one holy tie,
In Thy sacred presence, triune God, we cry: [Refrain]

5 Raise the hymn of triumph, heav’n and earth and sea;
Roll your thousand voices forth in harmony:
Voices young and aged, voices grand in song,
Blend them, singers holy, loud the strain prolong. [Refrain]
