If you know where to get a good picture of Eastburn (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Bright in Thy deeds and in Thy name,
Forever be Thy name adored,
Thy glories let the world proclaim.
O Jesus, Lamb once crucified,
To take our load of sins away,
Thine be the hymn that rolls its tide
Along the realms of upper day.
O Holy Spirit, from above
In streams of light and glory given,
Thou source of ecstasy and love,
Thy praises ring through earth and Heaven.
O God triune, to Thee we owe
Our every thought, our every song;
And ever may Thy praises flow
From saint and seraph’s burning tongue.
