Holy, holy, holy, God of grace and glory

Representative Text

1. Holy, Holy, Holy! God of grace and glory!
Unto everlasting days our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty!
God revealed in Jesus, sacred mystery.

2. Holy, holy Father, we Thy sons adore Thee:
He, who in Thy bosom dwells, declares to us Thy name;
All Thy love He showed us, now as sons before Thee,
Find we our portion, holy, without blame.

3. Jesus, blessèd Savior, Son of God most holy,
Equal with the Father in eternal might and love;
Down to earth Thou camest, humble, meek and lowly,
Dying, that we might live with Thee above.

4. Lord, we  now behold thee, crowned with brightest glory!
Every knee must bow to Thee, own Thy supremacy;
Every tongue shall own Thee, every voice adore Thee,
Slain once, but now enthroned in majesty!
