Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord.

Lo! the apostolic train
Join the sacred Name to hallow;
Prophets swell the loud refrain,
And the white robed martyrs follow;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.

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.

This is a beautiful classic Catholic hymn,
used by the Church for a couple of centuries.
The words are at¬trib¬ut¬ed to Ig¬naz Franz,
in Ma¬ria The¬re¬sa’s Ka¬thol¬isch¬es Ge¬sang¬buch
(Vi¬en¬na: cir¬ca 1774) trans¬lat¬ed from Ger¬man
to Eng¬lish by Clar¬ence A. Wal¬worth, 1858.

It is still sung today in many conservative or traditional Catholic
circles, usually as a Benediction (adoration) hymn.
