LyicsHoly and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! The angels cry,
Thrice holy, let us sing.
Holy is he in all his works,
And truth is his delight;
But sinners and their wicked ways
Shall perish from his sight.
The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul, to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
With sacred awe pronounce his name
Whom words nor thoughts can reach
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.
Thou holy, God! Preserve my soul
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart are thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.
