Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Holy and reverend is the name Lyrics: 1 Holy and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry,
Thrice holy, let us sing.
2 Heaven's brightest lamps with him compar'd,
How mean they look, and dim!
The fairest angels have their spots
When once compar'd with him.
3 Holy is he in all his works,
And truth is his delight,
But sinners and their wicked ways
Shall perish from his sight.
4 The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul to God;
Lift with thy hands, a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
4 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.
5 Thou holy God! preserve my soul
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart are thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.
