HOLY HOLY HOLY by Boniface S. A. Inyang — Lyrics
About HOLY HOLY HOLY
"Holy Holy Holy" is the great acclamation of the Sanctus, sung by the faithful just as the Eucharistic Prayer begins. Boniface S. A. Inyang’s setting captures the deep reverence of this pivotal moment in the Mass, offering a steady, majestic melody that draws the whole congregation into the heavenly chorus. When the priest invites us to join the angels and saints, this is the kind of grounded, resonant music that makes the response feel truly unified.
The piece moves with a dignified, unhurried pace, allowing the four-part harmony to ring out clearly from the choir loft without rushing the liturgy. Singers will appreciate the natural, deliberate build from the quiet awe of "Heaven and earth are full of your glory" into the joyful, rising "Hosanna in the highest." It is a setting that feels both solemn and triumphant, giving the voices enough space to breathe while perfectly preparing the church for the consecration.
