We give im-mor-tal praise For God the Father's love, For all our comforts here, And better hopes above:

ETERNAL Father, when to Thee,
Beyond all worlds, by faith I soar,
Before Thy boundless majesty

I stand in silence, and adore.

2 But, Saviour, Thou art by my side: Thy voice I hear, Thy face I see, Thou art my friend, my daily guide;

God over all, yet God with me.

3 And Thou, Great Spirit, in my heart
Dost make Thy temple day by day:
The Holy Ghost of God Thou art,
Yet dwellest in this house of clay.

4 Blest Trinity, in whom alone

All things created move or rest, High in the heavens Thou hast Thy throne, Thou hast Thy throne within my breast. Hervey Doddridge Ganse 1872

L. M.

FATHER of heaven, whose love profound
A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend:
To us Thy pardoning love extend.

2 Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend:
To us Thy saving grace extend.

3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend:
To us Thy quickening power extend.
4 Jehovah, Father, Spirit, Son,—
Mysterious Godhead, Three in One,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend:
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

Edward Cooper 1808

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, Blesséd 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 power, 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, Blesséd Trinity!

W. WOODWARD

Sweet the time,exceeding sweet, When the saints together meet; When the Saviour is the theme, When they join to sing of Him.

102

SWEET the time, exceeding sweet,
When the saints together meet;
When the Saviour is the theme,
When they join to sing of Him.
2 Sing we then eternal love,
Such as did the Father move:
He beheld the world undone,
Loved the world, and gave His Son.
3 Sing the Son's amazing love:
How He left the realms above,

Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.

4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love:
With our wretched hearts He strove,
Took the things of Christ, and showed
How to reach His blest abode.
5 Sweet the place, exceeding sweet,
Where the saints in glory meet;
Where the Saviour's still the theme,
Where they see, and sing of Him.

George Burder 1779

GOD OF HOSTS 75, 6 lines

Ho- ly, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, E- ter- nal King, By the heav'ns and earth adored,

An gels and Archan-gels sing,Chanting ev- er - last- ing - ly, To the Blessed Trin- i- ty.

From Tucker's Church Hymnal, by per.

103
HOLY, holy, holy Lord,

God of Hosts, eternal King,
By the heavens and earth adored;
Angels and Archangels sing,
Chanting everlastingly,

To the Blessed Trinity.

2 Since by Thee were all things made, And in Thee do all things live,

Be to Thee all honor paid;

Praise to Thee let all things give,
Singing everlastingly

To the Blessed Trinity.

3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before the throne, Speeding thence at Thy command,

And, when Thy commands are done, Singing everlastingly

To the Blessed Trinity.

STEGGALL 7s, 5.

4 Cherubim and Seraphim

Veil their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the Blessed Trinity.

5 Thee apostles, prophets Thee, Thee the noble martyr band, Praise with solemn jubilee,

Thee, the Church in every land, Singing everlastingly

To the Blessed Trinity.

6 Hallelujah! Lord, to Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Godhead One, and Persons Three; Join with us the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly

To the Blessed Trinity.

Christopher Wordsworth 1862 C. STEGGALL

Three in One, and One in Three, Ruler of the earth and sea, Hear us, while we lift to Thee, Holy chant and psalm.

THREE in One, and One in Three,
Ruler of the earth and sea,

Hear us, while we lift to Thee

Holy chant and psalm.

2 Light of lights, with morning, shine: Lift on us Thy light divine;

And let charity benign

Breathe on us her balm.

3 Light of lights, when falls the even,

Let it close on sin forgiven;

Fold us in the peace of heaven,

Shed a holy calm.

4 Three in One, and One in Three, Dimly here we worship Thee:

With the saints hereafter we

Hope to bear the palm.

Gilbert Rorison 1850
