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. Thou didst take the sting from death, Son of God, as Savior given; on the cross they dying breath opened wide the realm of heaven. In the glory of that land thou art set at God’s right hand.
