Holy Holy Holy

"Holy, Holy, Holy" is one of the most universally recognized hymns of adoration, lifting the congregation's voices in profound reverence to the Triune God. Set to the majestic tune "Nicaea," the melody carries a steady, ascending dignity that perfectly matches the awe in the text. In Nigerian parishes, this piece is a staple for Trinity Sunday, but its broad, sweeping praise makes it a powerful choice for the Entrance procession on any given Sunday.

The verses draw heavily from the imagery of Revelation, painting a picture of saints, cherubim, and seraphim casting down their crowns before the throne. As the choir leads the faithful through each stanza, the focus shifts from the morning song of creation to the unapproachable holiness of God, hidden from sinful eyes but perfect in power, love, and purity. It is a hymn that demands strong, unified singing, grounding the Mass in the absolute majesty of God in three Persons.
