Author: Ignaz Franz, 1717-1790; Clarence ̇Walworth, 1820-1900 Hymnal: OLOF2018 #69 (2018) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 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, the sacred name to hallow;
Prophets swell the loud refrain,
And the white-robed martyrs follow;
And from morn to setting 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 own the mystery.
