Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
2. 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.
3 .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 pow'r, in love, and purity.
4. 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!
Scripture; Exodus 3:1-15; Exodus 8:10; Exodus 15:11
The hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty" was written by the English Anglican bishop Reginald Heber in the early 19th century. It is one of the most popular and widely sung hymns in Christian worship services. Here’s a look at the background and meaning behind the hymn:
Heber wrote "Holy, Holy, Holy" in 1826 as part of a collection of hymns designed to be sung in church services according to the liturgical calendar. This particular hymn was intended for Trinity Sunday, a day dedicated to celebrating the Christian doctrine of the Trinity (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
