Ho-ly God, we praise Thy Name;

Lord of all, we bow be-fore Thee!

All on earth Thy scep-ter claim,

All in heav-en a-bove a-dore Thee;

In-fin-ite Thy vast do-main,

Ev-er-last-ing is Thy reign.



Hark! the loud ce-les-tial hymn

An-gel choirs a-bove are rais-ing,

Cher-u-bim and ser-a-phim,

In un-ceas-ing chor-us prais-ing;

Fill the heav-ens with sweet ac-cord:

Ho-ly, ho-ly, ho-ly, Lord.



Lo! the a-pos-tol-ic train

Join the sa-cred Name to hal-low;

Pro-phets swell the loud re-frain,

And the white-robed mar-tyrs fol-low;

And from morn to set of sun,

Through the Church the song goes on.



Ho-ly Fa-ther, Ho-ly Son,

Ho-ly Spir-it, Three we name Thee;

While in es-sence on-ly One,

Un-di-vid-ed God we claim Thee;

And a-dor-ing bend the knee,

While we own the mys-ter-y.
