Verse 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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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.
