About Holy, holy, holy
This setting of John Ellerton's well-loved hymn text is suitable for services of Holy Communion or general use. The familiar words express profound adoration of God as Almighty, Merciful, and Mighty, and meditate on the Trinity. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic support to the text's declaration of God's holiness, encompassing worship from saints and angels in heaven and acknowledging God's glory even when unseen by human eyes. The flowing melody and devotional character make it an accessible and uplifting choice for congregational singing and choir performance alike, reinforcing the message of God's eternal nature and perfect attributes.
