Holy as thou, O Lord, is none

1

Holy as thou, O Lord, is none;Thy holiness is all thine own;A drop of that unbounded seaIs ours,—a drop derived from thee.

2

And when thy purity we share,Thy brightest glory we declare;And, humbled into nothing, own,Holy and pure is God alone.

3

Sole, self-existing God and Lord,By all thy heavenly hosts adored,Let all on earth bow down to thee,And own thy peerless majesty.

4

Thy power unequaled we confess,Established on the rock of peace;The rock that never shall remove,The rock of pure, almighty love.
