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
join Thy sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the loud refrain,
and the white-robed 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,
while in essence only one,
undivided God we claim Thee,
and adoring bend the knee,
while we sing the mystery.
