Lyrics

VERSE 1

Holy, holy, holy!  Lord God Almighty!  Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee!

Holy, holy, holy!  Merciful and mighty!  God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

VERSE 2

Holy, holy, holy!  All the saints adore Thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea!

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Who wert, and art, and ever more shalt be.

VERSE 3

Holy, holy, holy!  Tho the darkness hide Thee, Tho the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,

Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

VERSE 4

Holy, holy, holy!  Lord God Almighty!  All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea!

Holy, holy, holy!  Merciful and mighty!  God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

Revelation 4:8-11 – “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within:and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.  And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
