1 Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you;
all on earth thy scepter claim,
all in heaven above adore you;
infinite your vast domain,
everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark! the loud celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising,
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heavens with sweet accord:
holy, holy, holy, Lord.
3 Lo! the apostolic train
join the 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 you;
while in essence only one,
undivided God we claim you,
then, adoring, bend the knee,
and confess the mystery.
