2. Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

1 Holy God, we praise Thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee;
All on earth Thy scepter claim;
All in heav'n above adore Thee.
Infinite Thy vast domain;
Everlasting is Thy reign.

2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord.

3 Lo! the apostolic train
Joins Thy sacred name to hallow;
Prophets swell the glad refrain,
And the blessed martyrs follow.
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.

4 Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit: three we name Thee,
Though in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim Thee,
And adoring bend the knee
While we sing our praise to Thee.

Amen.
