1. 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.

2. Hark the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord.

3. Lo! the apostolic train joins thy sacred name to hallow; prophets swell the glad refrain, and the white-robed martyrs follow. And from morn to set of sun, through the church the song goes on.

4. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit: three we name the, though in essence only one; undivided God we claim thee, and adoring bend the knee while we own the mystery. Sts. 5-7 Copr. 1985 The Church Pension Fund.
