Representative Text

Our hearts to heaven upraising,
We, with the angelic host,
Sing praises to the Father,
To Son, and Holy Ghost.

O Uncreated Nature,
Yet Maker Thou of all,
Our lips proclaim Thy praises,
As at Thy feet we fall.

All Holy, Holy, Holy,
Eternal God art Thou,
Hear us in prayer before Thee,
And send Thy mercy now.

In slumber Thou hast kept us,
And now, with morning light,
Our hearts and minds awaken,
And give them morn for night;

And we shall give Thee praises
Blest Trinity adored;
For Holy, Holy, Holy,
Art Thou Eternal Lord.

Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902
