Music Monday: Holy, Holy, Holy
Audrey Assad recently released Inheritance, her long-awaited album of hymns. Here’s one of my favourites, “Holy, holy, holy”…
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, blessed Trinity!
Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,

Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee,

All thy works shall praise Thy name in earth, and sky, and sea;
holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
