Representative Text

1 Holy, holy, we would tell thy love,
God eternal in the heav’ns above;
With the saints thy name we would adore,
Giving praise to thee forever more.

Refrain:
Holy, holy
Father, merciful and mighty,
Holy, holy,
Hallow’d be thy name.

2 Holy, holy, none art good but thou,
At thy feet to worship we would bow;
Unto thee shall endless songs arise,
Thou almighty ruler of the skies. [Refrain]

3 Holy, holy, hater of all sin,
Yet the erring thou dost seek to win;
Sending Jesus on the cross to die,
Bringing to the lost salvation nigh. [Refrain]
