Holy, Ho­ly,
Raise their hal­lowed voic­es
And let them all its sweet­ness know.
How love­ly, how di­vine­ly sweet,
In all my frame, so cold be­fore,
Towering o’er the wrecks of time;

With heart and voice join in the strain,
Would whol­ly give
And soft the sun­beam lin­ger­ing there;
Thanks, Fa­ther, that again our feet
Welcome, de­light­ful morn,

sac­red

All my hopes are hung on thee.
With thorns was pierced for me;
Awed to si­lence by His pow­er,
True their notes are blend­ed,
Rich ban­quet of His flesh and blood!
Fain would my long­ing pass­ions meet
Though foes be­set on ev­ery side,
Gathers round its head sub­lime.
Where my soul finds a fel­low­ship sweet,
All na­tions catch the glo­ry theme,
In whom all spir­its live;
Wafted on wings of praise and pray­er.
Oh, let Thy Spir­it with us meet,
I hail thy kind re­turn;
Living Word in writ­ten word;
And calls the sac­red place His own.
Which God has called His own;
Sage and shep­herd, king and priest,
Blest hour, when God Him­self draws nigh,
Bright, bright with truth;
