Lyrics

Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly is the Lord!
Sing, O ye peo­ple, glad­ly ad­ore Him;
Let the mount­ains trem­ble at His word;
Let the hills be joy­ful be­fore Him;
Mighty in wis­dom, bound­less in mer­cy,
Great is Je­ho­vah, king ov­er all.

Refrain

Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly is the Lord!
Let the hills be joy­ful be­fore Him.

Praise Him, praise Him! shout aloud for joy,
Watchman of Zi­on, her­ald the sto­ry;
Sin and death His king­dom shall de­stroy;
All the earth shall sing of His glo­ry;
Praise Him, ye an­gels, ye who be­hold Him,
Robed in His splen­dor, match­less, di­vine.

Refrain

King eter­nal, bless­èd be His name!
So may His child­ren glad­ly ad­ore Him;
When in Heav’n we join the hap­py strain,
When we cast our bright crowns be­fore Him;
There in His like­ness joy­ful awak­ing,
There we shall see Him, there we shall sing:

Refrain
