1 Holy and rev'rend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry:
Thrice holy let us sing.
2 Holy is He in all His works,
And saints are His delight;
But sinners and their wicked ways
Are hateful in His sight.
3 The deepest rev'rence, homage, love,
Pay, O my soul, to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To His sublime abode.
4 Thou, righteous God! preserve my mind
From all pollution free;
Thine image form within my breast,
That I Thy face may see.
