Lyrics

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.
