Many songs we sing in our worship services are filled with depth and insight into the heart of God, and this week we have the honor of singing one of these great hymns called “Holy, Holy, Holy” which is derived from Revelation 4:8 which proclaims, “And they did not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
Reginald Heber, the author of this poetic piece of musical history for the church, masterfully articulated the description of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit working together as the perfect Triune God. Words like HOLY, MERCIFUL, MIGHTY, PERFECT IN POWER, PURITY & LOVE describe how the all three attributes of the Triune God work together.
We see that God is perfect which angels fall down before, and the darkness is hides because He is perfect in love and purity.
We see that God showed his mercy and might by sending his son Jesus to earth to save us from our sins.
We see that Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to dwell among His people to proclaim the works of the Lord in earth and sky and sea.
All three attributes of the Trinity come together in this song to proclaim: “You are Lord, You are Lord. You reign eternally. You are Lord God Almighty. My Savior and My King.”
How do you respond to hearing these words?
Have you ever trusted God with your heart? He is perfect in love and purity.
Have you ever needed mercy in your life? He showed mercy by sending Jesus to save us from our sins.
Have you ever proclaimed to the Lord that He is mighty in power to meet you at your point of need? He rules over all the earth, sky and the sea.
So as we sing this song in worship this weekend, join me singing to the almighty God in three persons - the blessed Trinity.
