Words attributed to Ignace Franz, 1774, translated by Clarence Walworth, 1858; Music: GROSSER GOTT, 1774

lyrics

Holy God, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before thee.
Saints on earth thy rule acclaim;
All in heaven above adore thee.
Infinite thy vast domain;
Everlasting is thy reign.

Hark, the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
“Holy, holy, holy Lord!”

Lo, the apostolic train
Joins thy sacred name to hallow;
Prophets swell the loud refrain,
And the white-robed martyrs follow;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.

Holy Father, holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name thee;
While in essence only One,
Undivided God, we claim thee;
Then, adoring, bend the knee
And confess the mystery.

Christ, thou art our glorious King,
Son of God enthroned in splendor;
But, deliverance to bring,
Thou all honors didst surrender,
And wast of a virgin born,
Humbly on that blessed morn.

Thou didst take the sting from death,
Son of God, as Savior given;
On the cross thy dying breath
Opened wide the realm of heaven.
In the glory of that land
Thou art set at God’s right hand.

As our judge thou wilt appear,
Savior, who hast died to win us.
Help thy servants drawing near.
Lord, renew our hearts within us.
Grant that with thy saints we may
Dwell in everlasting day.
