We worship Thee, almighty Lord,
Our hearts revere Thy gracious Word
When it goes forth from Heav’n o’er all the earth.
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!
Upon a mountain builded high,
Thy Church doth in Thy strength rely,
And standeth sure while earth and time endure.
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!
Through her shall every land proclaim
The sacred might of Jesus’ name,
And all rejoice with Christian heart and voice.
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!
All nations to Thy throne shall throng
And raise on high the victory song,
While cherubim reply to seraphim,
Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O God!
