Love Song to the One True God

Holy, Holy, Holy

The love of our God

Spreads out before man’s ruptured gaze

His glory on earth’s sod

The ordinance of seasons

Unfolds His evidence

We cannot haste His reason

Or toss His purpose thence

Holy, holy, holy

He holds the stars in space

And flings from muted canopy

Another day of grace

In spite of our transgression

And passive platitude

He binds us with compassion

As darkness is subdued

Holy, holy, holy

This is the love of He

Who bathes us in redemption

Where our guilt ought to be

With holy tears of pardon

And holy drops of blood

With holiest submission

He bore the will of God

Holy, holy, holy

We cannot pick and choose

Which part of Him we will adore

Or which part to refuse

His power transcends perception

His Deity our trust

Ruler of earth and Heaven

With judgment pure and just

Holy, holy, holy

We cannot disunite

His glory from His goodness

His Lordship from His Light

He will not be defeated

Nor held behind a stone

And none but He is seated

In Heaven on His throne

Holy, holy, holy

His praise will never end

The Alpha and Omega God

Our Savior, Father, Friend

For He IS holy, holy

…our hope, alive and well

And this is He who sets us free

From fear of death and hell
