"They rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy!"

I.

HOLY, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty,

Early in the morning our songs shall rise to Thee!
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty;

cres. God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

2.

Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,

cres. Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3.

Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee,

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy: there is none beside Thee

cres. Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4.

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty,

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name in earth and sky and sea;

p, cres. Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty!

f God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity! Amen.

Auf, auf, weil der Tag erschienen. FRIEDRICH FILITZ, Ph.D.

"I pray God your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

I.

O LORD, our Maker! ever near,
Both soul and body bless and cheer;
From all that 's ill by day-by night,
Protect us, through Thy guardian might.

2.

O Lord, our Saviour, Sun of Grace!
Shed down on us Thy gladdening rays,
That we in faith may look to Thee-
That Thou to us may'st gracious be.

3.

O Lord, our Comforter divine,
On us Thy presence ever shine!
Thine image on our souls imprest,
? May we in peace unbroken rest.

4.

f Jehovah-Father, Spirit, Son

Full Spring of bliss, which still shall run;

With streams of life our spirits fill,

That we may praise and bless Thee still. Amen.
