Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!
Early
in the morning our songs shall rise to thee;
Holy,
holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
God
in Three Persons, blessèd Trinity!
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.
Holy,
holy, holy! though 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.
Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!
All
thy work shall praise thy Name in earth and sky and sea;
Holy,
holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
God
in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
