1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God AlmightyEarly in the morning our song shall rise to thee;Holy, holy, holy merciful and mighty!God in Three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

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,Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, holy, holy! tho' the darkness hide thee,Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee,Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God AlmightyAll thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;Holy, holy, holy merciful and mighty!God in Three Persons, blessèd Trinity!Amen.
