IV. The Holiness of God

1 Holy and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry,
Thrice holy let us sing.

2 Heavens brightest lamps with him compar'd
How mean they look, and dim!
The fairest angels have their spots,
When once compar'd with him.

3 Holy is he in all his works,
And truth is his delight;
But sinners and their wicked ways
Shall perish from his sight.

4 The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To his sublime abode.

5 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
When words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.
