Sharon YagerlenerBenedictionHoly God, We Praise Thy NameHoly God, we praise Thy name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee; All on earth Thy scepter claim, All in heaven above adore Thee: Infinite Thy vast domain, Everlasting is Thy reign. Hark, the glad celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising; Cherubim and Seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising; Fill the heavens with sweet accord; Holy, holy, holy Lord. Holy Father, holy Son, Holy Spirit: three we name Thee, Though in essence only one; Undivided God we claim Thee, And adoring, bend the knee, While we own the mystery. Amen.
