Holy, Holy, Holy has been a window into the throne room of the transcendent Lord for many believers. The text reminds us that He is perfect and unapproachable because of our sinfulness, but it also tells us that God allows those who have put their eternal trust in His perfect gift of salvation to enter His presence.
Our arrangement for sixteen handbells comes in C5-C7 and G4-G6 versions, they can be played, respectively, with a three-octave or a two-octave set of bells or chimes.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
though the eye of sinfulness thy glory may not see,
only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
All Thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed trinity!
