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! Angels adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Thousands and ten thousands worship low before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of man Thy great glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and 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!
In the land of fadeless day
Lies the city four-square;
It shall never pass away,
And there is no night there.
All the gates of pearl are made,
In the city four-square;
All the streets with gold are laid,
And there is no night there.
God shall wipe away all tears;
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.
And the gates shall never close
To the city four-square;
There life’s crystal river flows,
And there is no night there.
No sin, no shame
No pride or self gain
New life, cause the Lamb was slain
So look up and store your treasures there
There they need no sunshine bright,
In that city four-square;
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is no night there.
