1 Holy God, we praise your name; 
Lord of all, we bow before you. 
Saints on earth your rule acclaim; 
all in heaven above adore you. 
Infinite your vast domain; 
everlasting is your 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 your 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 you, 
though in essence only one; 
undivided God, we claim you, 
and, adoring, bend the knee 
while we own the mystery.
