Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

September 29, 2016 - 10:22pm — Richard Schletty

Sung at the funeral of Arthur Minus 9/29/2016. Church of St. Matthew, St. Paul, MN. Jack Heitzinger at the piano. Sr. Anne Becker on organ. 

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 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. 

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.

Tune: GROSSER GOTT (11171)
