Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord.
Lo! the apostolic train
Join the sacred Name to hallow;
Prophets swell the loud refrain,
And the white robed martyrs follow;
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.
This is a beautiful classic Catholic hymn,
used by the Church for a couple of centuries.
The words are at�trib�ut�ed to Ig�naz Franz,
in Ma�ria The�re�sa�s Ka�thol�isch�es Ge�sang�buch
(Vi�en�na: cir�ca 1774) trans�lat�ed from Ger�man
to Eng�lish by Clar�ence A. Wal�worth, 1858.
It is still sung today in many conservative or traditional Catholic circles, usually as a Benediction (adoration) hymn.
