Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

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.

Hark! the loud ce­les­ti­al hymn

Angel choirs above are rais­ing

Cherubim and se­ra­phim

In un­ceas­ing chor­us prais­ing;

Fill the heav­ens with sweet ac­cord:

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly

Lord.

Lo! the apos­tol­ic train

Join the sac­red name to hal­low;

Prophets swell the loud re­frain

And the white robed mar­tyrs fol­low;

And from morn to set of sun

Through the Church the song goes on.

Holy Fa­ther

Ho­ly Son

Holy Spir­it

Three we name Thee;

While in es­sence on­ly One

Undivided God we claim Thee;

And ador­ing bend the knee

While we own the mys­te­ry.

Thou art King of glo­ry

Christ:

Son of God

yet born of Ma­ry;

For us sin­ners sac­ri­ficed

And to death a tri­bu­ta­ry:

First to break the bars of death

Thou has op­ened Heav­en to faith.

From Thy high ce­les­ti­al home

Judge of all

again re­turn­ing

We be­lieve that Thou shalt come

In the dread­ed dooms­day morn­ing;

When Thy voice shall shake the earth

And the start­led dead come forth.

Therefore do we pray Thee

Lord:

Help Thy serv­ants whom

re­deem­ing

By Thy pre­cious blood out-poured

Thou hast saved from Sa­tan’s schem­ing.

Give to them eter­nal rest

In the glo­ry of the blest.

Spare Thy peo­ple

Lord

we pray

By a thou­sand snares sur­round­ed:

Keep us with­out sin to­day

Never let us be con­found­ed.

Lo

I put my trust in Thee;

Never

Lord

aban­don me.
