Benediction

Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

Holy God, we praise Thy name; 

Lord of all, we bow before Thee; 

All on earth Thy scepter claim, 

All in heaven above adore Thee: 

Infinite Thy vast domain, 

Everlasting is Thy reign. 

Hark, the glad celestial hymn 

Angel choirs above are raising; 

Cherubim and Seraphim, 

In unceasing chorus praising; 

Fill the heavens with sweet accord; 

Holy, holy, holy Lord. 

Holy Father, holy Son, 

Holy Spirit: three we name Thee, 

Though in essence only one; 

Undivided God we claim Thee, 

And adoring, bend the knee, 

While we own the mystery. 

Amen.
