Song Meaning
This rendition of the classic hymn centers on the thrice-holy nature of God, a refrain that echoes the heavenly worship described in Scripture. The lyrics open with a personal commitment to lift praise each morning, then shift to a cosmic scene where saints cast their golden crowns before a glassy sea and angelic beings bow in adoration. The repeated declaration "You are holy, holy, holy" serves as both a confession and a chorus, grounding the listener in the eternal truth that God is holy, merciful, and mighty. The song closes by affirming that all creation—earth, sky, and sea—joins in praising this triune God. It's a timeless call to recognize God's otherness and to join the ongoing worship of heaven, reminding us that our praise is part of a larger, unending song.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning my 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.
You are holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
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.
You are holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
