All on earth thy scepter claim, All in heav'n above adore thee; Infinite, thy vast domain, Everlasting is thy reign. Infinite, thy vast domain, Everlasting is thy reign. 2. Hark the loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising; Cherubim and Seraphim, Inunceasing Chorus praising; Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord: "Holy, holy,, holy Lord!" Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord: "Holy, holy,, holy Lord!" 3. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name thee; While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim thee; And adoring, bend the knee, While we own the mystery. And adoring, bend the knee, While we own the mystery.
