HOLY, SO HOLY, ART THOU, O MY GOD

Holy, O God, is Thy precious name,
Holy and perfect and pure;
Holy, O God, so holy art Thou:
Thy judgments and precepts are sure.

Holy, so holy, art Thou, O my God!
In Thy presence I am undone,
Imperfect, unworthy, so poor, weak and blind,
Nothing but for Jesus, Thy Son.

Holy, thrice holy, art Thou, O my God;
So high and so holy art Thou!
Far above all things art Thou exalted!
In Thy holy presence I bow.

Holy, so holy, art Thou, O my God!
In awe and in reverence I stand
Before Thee, O so holy, yea, the most holy,
Who holdest my life in Thine hand.

Holy, so holy, art Thou, O my God,
So far above me, so high
That I cannot hope to be like Thee, no, never,
No matter how hard I might try.
