- 1Holy and reverend is the name
- Of our eternal King;
- Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry:
- Thrice holy let us sing.
- 2Holy is He in all His works,
- And saints are His delight;
- But sinners and their wicked ways
- Shall perish from His sight.
- 3The deepest reverence, homage, love,
- Pay, O my soul, to God;
- Lift with thy hands a holy heart
- To His sublime abode.
- 4Thou, righteous God! preserve my soul
- From all pollution free;
- The pure in heart are Thy delight,
- And they Thy face shall see.
- 5Amen.
