Holy, Holy, Holy by John Bacchus Dykes — Lyrics

VERSE 1 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! VERSE 2 Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

About Holy, Holy, Holy

"Holy, Holy, Holy" is one of those foundational hymns that instantly commands reverence the moment the choir breathes the opening chord. It is a profound song of adoration directed to the Triune God. When the congregation hears the familiar, stately progression of the melody, it naturally draws their minds upward, setting a tone of awe and majesty for the Mass.

The text paints a vivid picture of heavenly worship, joining the voices of the choir loft with the "cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee." It is a staple for Trinity Sunday, but it also serves beautifully as a grand entrance or recessional hymn on major feast days. Singing "God in three Persons, blessed Trinity" in four-part harmony—especially with the soaring descant included in this arrangement—brings a sense of triumph and unity to the liturgy.
