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 sea
Is 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.
