1. Holy, Holy, Holy

Words: Reginald Heber 1783–1826
Music: John B. Dykes, 1823–1876
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! all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! tho’ the darkness hide Thee, Tho’ the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see; Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in pow’r, 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!

2. To God Be the Glory

Words: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915
Music William H. Doane, 1832–1915
To God be the glory, great things He hath done; So loved He the world that He gave His Son, who yielded His life an atonement for sin, And opened the lifegate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father, thro’ Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, To ev’ry believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father, thro’ Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing thro’ Jesus the Son; But purer, and higher, and greater will be Our wonder, our vict’ry, when Jesus we see.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father, thro’ Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

Words: Paraphrased, William Kethe 1594; Thomas Ken, 1637–1711
Music: Genevan Psalter, 1551 Edition; attr. Louis Bougeois, 1510–1561
All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, His praise forth-tell; Come ye before Him an rejoice.
The Lord, ye know is God indeed, Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take.
O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise laud, and bless His name always, For it ...
