Hymns of the Lutheran Church

72 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity! 2 Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. 3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see: Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love and purity. 4 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
