Hymns

Holy God, We Praise Your Name

Words: Te Deum, Clarence Walworth, Ignace Franz · Music: Allgemeines Katholisches Gesangbuch, 1774 · 1768

Verse 1
Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you.
Saints on earth your rule acclaim;
all in heav'n above adore you.
Infinite, your vast domain;
everlasting is your reign.

Verse 2
Hark, the glad celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord!"

Verse 3
Lo, the apostolic train
joins your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.

Verse 4
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name you,
though in essence only One;
undivided God, we claim you,
and, adoring, bend the knee
while we own the mystery.
