lyricist: William Dodd (1729–1777)
Composer: William Bradbury, 1858

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord!

Be Thy glo­ri­ous name ad­ored!

Lord

Thy mer­cies nev­er fail;

Hail

ce­les­ti­al good­ness

hail!

Tho’ un­wor­thy

Lord

Thine ear

Our hum­ble hal­le­lu­jahs hear:

Purer praise we hope to bring

When around Thy throne we sing.

While on earth or­dained to stay

Guide our foot­steps in Thy way

Till we come to reign with Thee

And all Thy glo­ri­ous great­ness see.

Then no tongue shall si­lent be

And all shall join in har­mo­ny;

That

thro’ Heav’n’s all-spa­cious round

Thy praise

O God

may ev­er sound.

Lord

Thy mer­cies nev­er fail:

Hail

ce­les­ti­al good­ness

hail!

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord

Be Thy glo­ri­ous name ad­ored!
