Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore Thee; Heaven’s elders cast their crowns down by the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim worship too before Thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

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 Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
This is lovely inspirational song of those days in schl . May the Almighty God Continues to protect us with his Mighty HANDS in JESUS POWERFUL NAME Amen.
Reginald Heber, son of a clergyman of the same name, was born in Malpas, Cheshire, England, April 21, 1783, and educated at Oxford. He served the church in Hodnet, Shropshire, for about 20 years, and was then appointed Bishop of Calcutta. His work was cut short at the prime of his life when he passed away on April 3, 1826.
Heber wrote 57 hymns which were collected by his widow and published in his poetical works in 1842.
The tune “Nicæa” was written by Dr. John B. Dykes, a renowned Doctor of Music. He was born at Kingston-upon-Hull, in 1823; and graduated from Cambridge in 1847. Dykes became a master of tone and choral harmony, and did much to reform and elevate congregational psalmody in England. He was the first to demonstrate that hymn-tune making can be reduced to a science without impairing its spiritual purpose.
