Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty

When I was young, we went to a church that had a choir and a junior choir in the small town of 3000 people. The junior choir marsh down the aisle first and then the senior choir while the organist played holy holy holy Lord God, Almighty. So of all the hymns I sung in my lifetime, I remember holy holy, holy the most!!

I grew up in a small town in a Methodist Church, I changed to an “open Bible” When I was 20.

I enjoyed this hymn this morning I hope you do also. All those who will be crowned, that is faithful to the end, in the coming age, will cast their crowns down as they see Christ. They willl realize they are nothing without Him. He is God Almighty. In that day the earth will sway. We should have a healthy fear today. “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” I think we can understand that when we really touch the Father. It is good to know who we are dealing with in our Christian life.

Amen and Amen 🙏

I love hymnal.net

On a trip to Bangladesh in the 1970s, I remember visiting a church, dedicated to Reginald Heber, the author of the hymn, “Holy, holy, holy“. I thought, “that great hymn-writer was a missionary in this far-off corner of Asia!“ Heber was born in Cheshire England in 1783. Soon after completing his education, Reginald was ordained in the Anglican Church, and served in a small church in the village of Hodnet. Reginald developed a reputation for being a devoted follower of God, and a wonderful poet, which was the perfect recipe for an enduring hymn. in 1823, Reginald was called to serve in India. He became the Bishop of Calcutta, which made him leader over missions in India, Ceylon, and Autralia. During his time in India, Reginald worked tirelessly to build a training school for local clergy so the area would have ministers for the long term . He also traveled across India, spreading the gospel. Over the years, the climate and his heavy responsibilities wore on his health. One Sunday, after an outdoor sermon to a large gathering, Reginald dropped dead from heat stroke. Over the years he had written a number of hymns, which he never saw publication for. But his wife saw the beauty in her husband’s work, and she put a collection of hymns together and had them published. Fifty-seven hymns were included, one of which stood out far above the others. “Holy holy, holy, Lord God, Almighty,” which Alfred Lord Tennyson, the renowned English author, considered to be the greatest hymn ever written! I recall my dad, loving it as well. Heber’s hymns have been a blessing to many for over 200 years.

Commentary by Lewis Codington

Absolutely amazing... praise the Lord of heaven and earth... amen!!!

Wonderful song containing so much truth. I learnt this from a book called the 'Redemption Hymnal' that contains an extra verse:

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!

This song thrills the soul. We serve a mighty, just, and Holy God. He is filled with love and promises for his people. One day when the sky is rolled up like a scroll and we see the new heaven and earth we will be with him in his joyful presence for ever more! Redeemed, loved, no more sickness, no more suffering.... peace and ever lasting joy.

Amazing 😍. Singing The Holy Trinity Everyday means so much to me ❤️. Knowing That I am Honoring and Submitting to GOD 🙏 my Heavenly Father. Love 💖 IT.
