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.
[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!"
["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.
[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.
[And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.] Scripture: Isaiah 6:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: GROSSER GOTT
