The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#13

13. 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 loud 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 loud refrain,
And the white robed martyrs follow;
And, from morn to set of sun,
Thru the Church the song goes on.

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