About this Hymn

The melody of Holy, Holy, Holy remains one of the most elegant in church history. Inspired by its beauty, Matt Papa and Matt Boswell have crafted new lyrics for the Christmas season, celebrating Christ's holiness revealed in the incarnation. This fresh text allows a timeless tune to echo with the wonder and joy of Christmas.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Holy, holy, holy, in a manger lowly; Christ the Son now veiled in flesh in our humanity. Kingdoms bow before him, heav'n and earth adore him. God here in person, hail his majesty.

Verse 2
Holy, holy, holy, sings the virgin Mary; for he shall deliver us from sin's captivity. Born to heal the nations, born for our salvation, oh, magnify him, Christ the Prince of Peace.

Verse 3
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Heaven's angels sound his praise with earth and sky and sea! Join the song of triumph, glory in the highest! Let all creation crown him King of kings.
