Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee,

Though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see,

Only Thou art holy: there is none beside Thee,

Perfect in power, in love, in purity.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea:

Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty;

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Reginald Heber, 1826.
