GOD.

THE HOLY TRINITY.

1 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His

1

name.-PSALM xcvi. 8.

10 the name of God on high,
God of might and majesty,

God of heaven and earth and sea,
Blessing, praise, and glory be.

2 To the name of Christ the Lord,
Son of God, incarnate Word,

7 7.7 7.

Christ, by whom all things were made,
Be all honour ever paid.

3 To the Holy Spirit be

Equal praise eternally,

With the Father and the Son,
One in name, in glory one.

4 This the song of ages past,
Song that shall for ever last;
Let the ages yet to be
Join the cheerful melody.

5 Glorious is our God, the Lord!
Praises, then, with one accord
To His holy name be given,
By the sons of earth and heaven.

2

Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts.
ISAIAH vi. 3.

1 TAIL! holy, holy, holy Lord!

Whom One in Three we know:
By all Thy heavenly host adored,
By all Thy Church below.

2 One undivided Trinity

With triumph we proclaim;
Thy universe is full of Thee,
And speaks Thy glorious name.
3 Thee, holy Father, we confess,
Thee, holy Son, adore,
Thee, Spirit of truth and holiness,
We worship evermore.

4 Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord!
(Our heavenly song shall be)
Supreme, essential One, adored
In co-eternal Three!

C.M.

3 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. 11 12.12 10. REVELATION iv. 8.

OLY, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!

HOLY,

Early in the morning our song shall rise to
Thee;

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!

God in Three Persons, blessèd 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,
