Holy God, we praise Thy name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee All on earth Thy scepter claim, All in heaven above adore Thee: Infinite Thy vast domain, Everlasting is Thy reign.2. Hark, the glad celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising; Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising, Fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord.3. Holy Father, holy Son, Holy Spirit, three we name Thee, Though in essence only one; Undivided God we claim Thee; And adoring, bend the knee, While we sing our praise to Thee. Amen.
