Hymn

Round the Lord in Glory Seated

Metre 8.7.8.7.D.

Round the Lord in glory seated

Cherubim and seraphim

Filled His temple, and repeated

Each to each th' alternate hymn:

"Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,

Earth is with Thy fullness stored;

Unto Thee be glory given,

Holy, holy, holy Lord!"

Heav'n is still with glory ringing,

Earth takes up the angels' cry,

"Holy, holy, holy," singing,

"Lord of Hosts, the Lord most high."

With his seraph train before Him,

With His holy Church below,

Thus unite we to adore Him,

Bid we thus our anthem flow.

"Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,

Earth is with its fullness stored;

Unto Thee be glory given,

Holy, holy, holy, Lord!"

Thus Thy glorious name confessing,

We adopt the angels' cry,

"Holy, holy, holy," blessing

Thee, the Lord of Hosts most high.
