2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; 3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee, 4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy Name in earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity! Bp. Reginald Heber (1783-1826), 1827. LYONS. 5.5.5.6. D. FRANCIS JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809), 1770. 1. O WORSHIP the King, All glorious above; O grate-fully sing His power and His love; Our Shield and De-fender, The Ancient of days, Pa- vil-ioned in splendor, And girded with praise. 4 "Light of Light." 2 Fount of all our joy and peace, 3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from mine eyes, That, from every error flying, No strange fire may in me glow That Thine altar doth not know. 4 Let me with my heart to-day, Holy, holy, holy, singing, Rapt awhile from earth away, All my soul to Thee up-springing, Have a foretaste inly given, How they worship Thee in Heaven. 5 Rest in me and I in Thee, Build a paradise within me; Blessed Love, who died'st to win me; 6 Hence all care, all vanity, For the day to God is holy: Come, thou glorious Majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Naught to-day my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love. Rev. Benjamin Schmolke (1672-1737), 1704 Tr. by Miss Catherine Winkworth (1829-1878), 1858 |
