O God, Thou art transcendent,
The Holy One Thou art!
None other is Thine equal,
Incomp’rable Thou art!

Do far exceed it all!

Distinct, unique, and holy,
Not only right and pure;
Not only without defect,
But with perfection more;
For nothing can approach Thee,
Nor e’er Thine equal be;
If aught Thy place hath taken,
’Tis insult unto Thee.
