- 2Holy, holy, holy!All the saints adore Thee,Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
- 3Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,Perfect in pow'r, in love, and purity.
- 4Holy, holy, holy!Lord God Almighty! AllThy works shall praise Thy Name,in earth, and sky, and sea;Holy, holy, holy;merciful and mighty!God in three Persons,blessed Trinity!
