Sunday's Hymn: Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

Holy 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 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.

—Te Deum, c. 4th century.

(((Holy, holy, holy, Lord.)))

I've sang this quiet a few times in church but for some reason I can only remember the first verse and then when I saw the above I asked God why two of the "h" are not Capitalized and this is what He seem to say to me.

Victor, "IT" rains on the good and the bad and long story short, my people still own my mystery and as long as none of U>S (usual sinners) go beyond the half way mark, we should all be ok but this coming "Friday" will tell.

Really "Lord" our world only has about 41% abortion, very little euthanasia and marriage is still considered between a man and a woman in most of this world so we're "OK" right Father? Is this not rightly so, cause Your Love is never endless and You are slow to "anger" so is "IT" not true Lord our GOD that we still "LIVE"?

I hear ya! Are you being sarcastic again sinner vic?

Shalom
