Text: | Holy God, We Praise Your Name |
Translator: | Clarence A. Walworth |
Tune: | GROSSER GOTT, WIR LOBEN DICH |
1 Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you;
All on earth your scepter claim,
All in heaven above adore you.
Infinite your vast domain,
Everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark, the glad 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 All apostles join the strain
As your sacred name they 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 you
While in essence only One;
Undivided God we claim you,
And adoring bend the knee
While we own the mystery.
Amen.
