“Holy, Holy, Holy” — Heber-Dykes
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! all the saints adore Thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, who wert, and art, and evermore shalt 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, blessed Trinity!
*THE INVOCATION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name!
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen
