| | (Trinity Sunday) HOLY, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! | |
| Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; | |
| Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! | |
| God in Three Persons, Blessèd Trinity! | |
| |
| Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, | 5 |
| Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; | |
| Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, | |
| Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be! | |
| |
| Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee, | |
| Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see, | 10 |
| Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, | |
| Perfect in power, in love, and purity! | |
| |
| Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! | |
| All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea; | |
| Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! | 15 |
| God in Three Persons, Blessèd Trinity! | | | | |
