In earth and Heaven, there is none like You
Sanctus, Sanctus
None worthy to ascend your throne and rule
Sanctus, Sanctus
Righteous almighty King
Saints and angels join to sing
Sanctus, Sanctus
Rex tremendae majestatis
Rex excelsis gloria
Gloria, Sanctus
Savior, you're the perfect, spotless lamb
Sanctus, Sanctus
Our every breath is given by Your hand
Sanctus, Sanctus
You reign with power on high
We fall before you and we cry
Sanctus, Sanctus
Rex tremendae majestatis
Rex excelsis gloria
Gloria, Sanctus
With reverence and with fear
With trembling lips, Lord we draw near
Singing holy, holy
King of awesome majesty
King of highest glory
Glory, Sanctus
