Special thanks to our guest star for this episode, Chuck Moeschberger!

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

Holy, holy holy! Lord God Almighty!

Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!

God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee

Who wert, and art, and evermore shall be.

Verse 3

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,

Though the eye of sinful flesh thy glory may not see.

Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee,

Perfect in pow'r, in love and purity.

Verse 4

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!

Amen.
