Briefly Garverizing
I'll be back by the Fourth of July!
In the meantime, here's a hymn for Trinity Sunday.
Holy God, we praise Thy Name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee!
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
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.
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
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.
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
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.
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
~Ignaz Franz
