Holy, holy, holy by Joseph Barnby — Lyrics

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity. Holy, holy, holy! All saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

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.
