Holy and reverend is the name
1
Holy and reverend is the nameOf our eternal King;Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry;Thrice holy! let us sing.
2
The deepest reverence of the mind,Pay, O my soul! to God;Lift with thy hands a holy heartTo his sublime abode.
3
With sacred awe pronounce his nameWhom words nor thoughts can reach;A broken heart shall please him moreThan the best forms of speech.
4
Thou holy God, preserve our soulsFrom all pollution free;The pure in heart are thy delight,And they thy face shall see.
5
Till then thy service shall be ours,Thy praise our constant theme;We 'll worship thee with all our powers,Whose mercy doth redeem.
