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 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,
while we own the mystery. Topics: Adoration; God Holiness; God Holiness Languages: English Tune Title: GROSSER GOTT
