Tune: Nicaea
('Holy, holy, holy')
Revelation 4 v.8-11
*********
Four creatures round God's throne, worshipping Him alone
They joining their songs there in harmonious tone
They each having six wings, flying free and flowing
To the Lord God Almighty they do sing
They full of eyes, symbolising their all-seeing
Endless praise and worship to the Lord they e'er bring
Singing, Holy, holy, holy, God three in one
He be the Father, Spirit, and the Son
He the ever-living, uncreated Being
He was, and in, and is to come, Lord o'er each thing
Past, present, and future, all in Him do combine
Ruling by His power, perfection fine
Elders round the throne, they twenty four in number
Fall down before God on His throne to worship stir
Cast down their crowns before Him Him who lives for ever
Unceasing, unbroken, none can sever
They say and sing, Worthy, O Lord, you to receive
Glory and honour and power, we true believe
For you have created all things, and they be for your
Pleasure, past, present, future evermore
