HYMN 72

8S7S (FE 89)



1.  KING of Saints, to whom the number

     Of Thy Starry host is known

     Many a name, by man forgotten

     Lives forever round Thy throne.

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy, Holy/ Holy, Holy

               be Thy name

               To Thee all Honour and Glory

               O Lord of Eternity.


2.  Thou who an in the brightest light

     Human eye can never scan

     Thy back only shown to Moses

     And his eyes like sun did shine.

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...


3.  Lights, which earth-born mists have darkened

     There are shining full and clear

     Princes in the court of heaven

     Nameless, unremember‘d here

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...

4. How they toil'd for Thee and suffer'd

    None on earth can now record;

    All their saintly life is hidden

    In the Knowledge of their Lord.

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...


5.  All is veil’d from us, but written

     In the Lamb's great book of life,

     All the faith and prayer, and patience

     All the toiling, and the strife.

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...


6.  There are told Thy hidden treasures

     Number us, O Lord, with them

     When Thou markest up the jewels

     Of Thy living diadem

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...

     Seraphim bend down for him

     Before sacred Jehovah's Throne

     Father God and Trinity.

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...


8.  Kneel before the Glorious Father

     Cherubim bend down for him

     Before sacred Jehovah‘s Throne

     Father God and Trinity.

Chorus:  Holy, Holy /Holy...  Amen
