Lyrics

Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly;
Angel voic­es sing­ing;
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly,
Through high Heav­en ring­ing.
From that tem­ple, pure and bright,
Bathed in streams of crys­tal light,
Hear the ev­er­last­ing hymn,
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly.

Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly;
Grandest mu­sic swell­ing;
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly,
All sweet notes ex­cell­ing.
Those who con­quered by His might,
Wearing now their crowns of light,
Join the ev­er­last­ing hymn,
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly.

Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly;
Come, let us ad­ore Him;
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly,
Humbly bow be­fore Him.
Wisdom, glo­ry, love and might,
With the se­ra­phim unite
In the ev­er­last­ing hymn,
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly.
