OHT Incipit:  

Holy God, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee.
All on earth thy scepter claim,
All in heav'n above adore Thee.
Infinite, thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign;
Infinite, thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.

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!
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

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;
And from morn to set of sun
Through the Church the song goes on.

Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee;
While in essence only one,
Undivided God we claim Thee;
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery;
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
