Original text and translations

English text 1. Grateful notes and numbers bring, While Jehovah’s praise we sing: Holy, holy, holy, Lord! Be Thy glorious name adored. 2. Men on earth, and saints above, Sing the great Redeemer’s love: Lord, Thy mercies never fail: Hail, celestial goodness, hail! 3. Though unworthy, Lord, Thine ear, Our humble hallelujahs hear; Purer praise we hope to bring When with saints we stand and sing.

4. Lead us to that blissful state Where Thou reignest supremely great; Look with pity from Thy throne, And send Thy Holy Spirit down. 5. While on earth ordained to stay, Guide our footsteps in Thy way; Till we come to reign with Thee, And all Thy glorious greatness see. 6. Then with angels we’ll again Wake a louder, louder strain; There, in joyful songs of praise, We'll our grateful voices raise.

7. There no tongue shall silent be; There all shall join sweet harmony; That through heaven’s all spacious round, Thy praise, 0 God, may ever sound! –Christian's Magazine, 1766
