Round the Lord in Glory Seated

lyricist: James Lowell, 1845
Composer: Thomas Williams, 1890

Round the Lord in glo­ry seat­ed

Cherubim and se­ra­phim

Filled His tem­ple

and re­peat­ed

Each to each the al­ter­nate hymn:

Lord

Thy glo­ry fills the heav­en

Earth is with its full­ness stored;

Unto Thee be glo­ry giv­en

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord!

Heav’n is still with glo­ry ring­ing

Earth takes up the an­gels’ cry

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly

sing­ing

Lord of Hosts

the Lord most high.

With His ser­aph train be­fore Him

With His ho­ly Church be­low

Thus con­spire we to ad­ore him

Bid we thus our an­them flow.

Lord

Thy glo­ry fills the heav­en

Earth is with its full­ness stored;

Unto Thee be glo­ry giv­en

Holy

holy

holy Lord!

Thus Thy glo­ri­ous name con­fess­ing

We adopt thine an­gels’ cry

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly

bless­ing

Thee

the Lord of Hosts most high.
