Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! by John Bacchus Dykes — Lyrics
About Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
"Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!" is one of the most universally recognized hymns of adoration, lifting the congregation's voices in profound reverence to the Trinity. With its steady, majestic progression, the song draws singers and listeners alike into a vision of heavenly worship, where saints, cherubim, and seraphim cast down their crowns before the throne.
In the choir loft, this piece is often a staple for Trinity Sunday or as a powerful entrance hymn to set a tone of awe at the beginning of Mass. The verses build a steady progression—from our early morning earthly praise, to the unceasing worship of heaven, acknowledging God's perfect power, love, and purity even when human eyes cannot fully comprehend His glory.
Singing this hymn in four-part harmony brings out the solemn chords that underscore the greatness of God. It is a unifying piece that gathers the whole church, reminding everyone present of the eternal nature of the "God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity."
