Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee.
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Tho’ 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, in purity.
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!

One of my favorites, and we sang it Sunday morning. :-)
It goes good on the bagpipes too!
My favorite too! When I was very young I couldn't say the l sound, but I would sing the ho-ey, ho-ey, ho-ey part at the top of my lungs. Since then, the whole text has taken on new meaning in my life! :) Thanks for sharing.
