Song based on the Bible verse:
Isaiah 6:3
And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
Revelation 4:8-11
8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
“Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11
“You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created.”
Revelation 7:9-14
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”
So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

1
Holy God we praise Your name
Lord of all we bow before You
All on earth Your scepter claim
All in heav’n above adore You
Infinite Your vast domain
Everlasting is Your reign
2
Hark the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising
Cherubim and seraphim
In unceasing chorus praising
Fill the heav’ns with sweet accord
Holy holy holy Lord
3
Lo the apostolic train
Join Your sacred name to hallow
Prophets swell the glad refrain
And the white-robed martyrs follow
And from morn to set of sun
Through the church the song goes on
4
Holy Father Holy Son
Holy Spirit Three we name You
While in essence only One
Undivided God we claim You
And adoring bend the knee
While we sing this mystery
5
You are King of glory Christ
Son of God yet born of Mary
For us sinners sacrificed
And to death a tributary
First to break the bars of death
You have opened heaven to faith
6
From Your high celestial home
Judge of all again returning
We believe that You shall come
In the dreaded doomsday morning
When Your voice shall shake the earth
And the startled dead come forth
7
Therefore do we pray You Lord
Help Your servants whom redeeming
By Your precious blood out-poured
You have saved from Satan’s scheming
Give to them eternal rest
In the glory of the blest
8
Spare Your people Lord we pray
By a thousand snares surrounded
Keep us without sin today
Never let us be confounded
Lo, I put my trust in You
Never Lord abandon me
