HOLY HOLY HOLY

Written by Reginald Heber

In 1783, Reginald Heber was born into a prosperous and well-educated family.

 He was a talented young man who, at the age of seven, translated a Latin classic into English rhyme. 

At the age of 17, he entered Oxford, where he won two awards for his poetry. After receiving his degree, he was appointed rector of his father's church in the west English village of Hodnet, close to Shrewsbury, where he served for 16 years.

 After being named Bishop of Calcutta in 1823, he toiled nonstop for three years before the adverse conditions and travel forced him to succumb to a stroke.

 His 57 songs, including "Holy, Holy, Holy," are still often sung today.
 

The song was performed by Audrey Assad

 

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
Blessed Trinity!

 

 

 

Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy
There is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity

 

Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity

Oh God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!
