Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

Listen to:

  Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (.midi)
  Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (.mp3)

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.
