Sunday's Hymn

Here’s one of the hymns we sang in church this morning.

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty

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, blessèd 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,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy 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, blessèd Trinity!

I wrote my first hymn the other day. Kind of embarrassed to share it, but you can find it here: http://www.4ever4given.com/2008/06/hiding_place.php

I think it was also partly inspired by all the hymns I love to read.

Thanks Lisa. I've got it added to the list. :)

I grew up in the Catholic church and this is one of the few hymns that I learned there that I've encountered at almost every church I've ever attended. I love it!
