I.-GOD: HIS BEING, ATTRIBUTES,

AND WORKS.

P. M.

"They rest not day and night, saying, 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, blessèd 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 men 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;

2

Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.'

1 HOLY, holy, holy Lord

God of hosts! when heaven and earth
Out of darkness, at Thy word,
Issued into glorious birth,

All Thy works before Thee stood,
And Thine eye beheld them good,
While they sang with sweet accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

2 Holy, holy, holy! Thee,

One JEHOVAH evermore,
Father, Son, and Spirit! we,

Dust and ashes, would adore;
Lightly by the world esteemed,
From that world by Thee redeemed,
Sing we here with glad accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

3 Holy, holy, holy! All

Heaven's triumphant choirs shall sing, When the ransomed nations fall

At the footstool of their King;

7s.

3

Then shall saints and seraphim,
Hearts and voices, swell one hymn,
Round the throne with full accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

S, 7.

One cried unto another and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.'

1 ROUND the Lord in glory seated,
Cherubim and seraphim

Filled His temple, and repeated
Each to each the alternate hymn:

Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,

Holy, holy, holy Lord.'

2 Heaven is still with glory ringing, Earth takes up the angels' cry,

'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,

Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'

6

Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,

Holy, holy, holy Lord.'

3 With His seraph train before Him,
With His holy Church below,
Thus conspire we to adore Him,
Bid we thus our anthem flow:

4

'Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,

Holy, holy, holy Lord.'

6, 6; 8, 8.

'To God only wise, be glory through
Jesus Christ for ever.'

1 We give immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all our comforts here

And better hopes above;

He sent His own eternal Son,
To die for sins that man had done.

To God the Son belongs

Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with His blood
From everlasting woe;

And now He lives, and now He reigns,
And sees the fruit of all His pains.

To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,

Whose new-creating power

Makes the dead sinner live;

His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.

Almighty God, to Thee

Be endless honours done,

5

The undivided Three,

And the mysterious One;
Where reason fails with all her powers,
There faith prevails, and love adores.

1 WE praise, we worship Thee, O God;
Thy sovereign power we sound abroad;
All nations bow before Thy throne,
And Thee the great JEHOVAH own.

2 Loud hallelujahs to Thy name
Angels and seraphim proclaim;
By all the powers and thrones in heaven
Eternal praise to Thee is given.

3 O holy, holy, holy Lord!

Thou God of hosts, by all adored,
Earth and the heavens are full of Thee,
Thy light, Thy power, Thy majesty.

4 Apostles join the glorious throng,
And swell the loud triumphant song;
Prophets and martyrs hear the sound,
And spread the hallelujah round.

5 Glory to Thee, O God most high!
Father, we praise Thy majesty,
The Son, the Spirit we adore,-
One Godhead, blest for evermore.
