Holy Is the Lord

Author: Edith Sandford Tillotson Hymnal: The Excelsior Hymnal #122 (1919) First Line: Hark, oh hark, a chorus that swells Refrain First Line: Join, oh join the chorus that rings Lyrics: 1 Hark, oh hark, a chorus that swells, A wonderful song of praise, How its strain of glory excels All others that lips could raise, “Holy is the Lord of Hosts,” It echoes from the skies, “Holy is the Lord of Hosts,” The list’ning earth replies. For blessed is His Name, Blessed all others above, Eternally the same, Boundless and great is His love. Blessed His Name, Boundless His love. Refrain: Join, oh join the chorus that rings, Oh join it with glad accord, Praise, oh praise the greatest of kings, Oh worship and praise the Lord, For Holy is the Lord. 2 Hark, oh hark, by angels of light That anthem of praise is sung, There in realms celestial and bright His Name is on ev’ry tongue, “Holy is the Lord of Hosts,” Around His throne they sing, “Holy is the Lord of Hosts,” Let mortal answer ring. All hail, Redeemer, King, Honor and glory are Thine, Our tribute we would bring, Praising our Monarch divine. Hail to our King, Monarch divine. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark, oh hark, a chorus that swells]
