It's one of my favorite songs and it goes like this:
"Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity."
It was written almost two centuries ago by a man named Reginald Heber but the words still ring with beauty and truth today. It is a song that brings generations together in one chorus to praise God. In truth, this is why I love this song so much. It is commanded that we sing to God and speak to each other with hymns and such (See Eph. 5 & Col. 3). It is then a necessary and good thing for us to learn–I mean memorize–these classic and beautiful hymns of praise so that we may be able to join in song across ages to worship God with one, unified voice. Now that sounds like a choir worth listening too!
