| Song: | HOLY GOD, WE PRAISE THY NAME
Trans: Clarece Walworth Catholic hymn Key: G Time: 3/4 3 3 3-2* 3 -3 -4 -3 3 Ho-ly God, we praise Thy Name; -4 -4 -4-3 3 -55 -4 -4 -3 Lord of all, we bow be-fore Thee! 3 3 3-2* 3 -3 -4 -3 -3 All on earth Thy scep-ter claim, -4 -4 -4 -3 3 -5 4 -4 -4 -3 All in Heav�n a-bove a-dore Thee; -3 -4 4 -4 -3 -4 4 -5 In-fi-nite Thy vast do-main, 6 6 -5 4 -4 4-4 -3 3 Ev-er-last-ing is Thy reign. 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. |
