Holy Is The Lord

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 57:5

Verse 1

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord! Sing, O ye people, gladly adore Him; Let the mountains tremble at His word, Let the hills be joyful before Him; Mighty in wisdom, boundless in mercy, Great is Jehovah, King over all.

Chorus

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, Let the hills be joyful before Him.

Verse 2

Praise Him, praise Him, shout aloud for joy! Watchman of Zion, herald the story; Sin and death, His kingdom shall destroy, All the earth shall sing of His glory; Praise Him, ye angels, ye who behold Him, Robed in His splendor, matchless, divine.

Chorus

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, Let the hills be joyful before Him.

Verse 3

King Eternal, blessed be His name! So may His children gladly adore Him; When in heav'n we join the happy strain, When we cast our bright crowns before Him; There in His likeness joyful awaking, There we shall see Him, there we shall sing.

Chorus

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, Let the hills be joyful before Him.
