Holy and reverend is the name

Of our eternal King;

Thrice holy, Lord! the angels cry;

Thrice holy, let us sing.

The deepest reverence of the mind

Pay, O my soul, to God;

Lift with thy hands a holy heart

To His sublime abode.

With sacred awe pronounce His name,

Whom words nor thoughts can reach;

A reverent heart shall please Him more

Than the best forms of speech.

Thou holy God! preserve my soul

From sinful passion free;

And, pure in heart, may I behold

A God of purity!
