Holy, Holy, Holy!

"Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty" is a foundational hymn of adoration that resounds in choir lofts and congregations across the world. Written to honor the Holy Trinity, the text draws heavily from the scriptural vision in Revelation, painting a vivid picture of saints, cherubim, and seraphim casting down their golden crowns before the throne of God. It is a song of profound reverence, acknowledging God’s perfect power, love, and purity even when human eyes cannot fully perceive His glory.

In the liturgy, this piece is a natural choice for Trinity Sunday, but its majestic tone makes it a powerful entrance or recessional hymn for almost any festive Mass. This particular handwritten solfa arrangement includes a soaring descant for the final verse, designed to lift the congregation’s voices as they sing of all creation praising God’s name "in earth and sky and sea." The steady, marching progression of the harmony gives the choir a solid foundation to build a massive, awe-inspiring sound by the final chord, leaving the faithful with a deep sense of the sacred.
