Holy God, We
Praise Thy Name
Holy God, we
praise Thy Name,
Lord of all, we bow before Thee;
All on earth, Thy sceptre claim,
All in heaven above adore Thee.
Chorus (Sing
Twice)
Infinite Thy
vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign
Hark! The loud
celestial hymn,
Angels choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and Seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising.
Chorus (Sing

Fill the heavens
with sweet accord:
Holy! Holy! Holy Lord!

is a third verse to this hymn; if someone can send it to me,

O Holy Name
By William Cardinal
O'Connell
.
O Holy Name of
Majesty and
Power, O sacred Name of
God's own Son. In ev'ry
joy and ev'ry weary hour,
Be thou our strength until life's war is won.
Chorus
Fierce is the
fight for God and the right;
Sweet Name of Jesus in Thee is our might.
All oe'r the
earth the hearts of men are
dying, Chilled by the storms of
greed and strife; All o'er the land
rebellion's flag is flying,
Threat'ning our altars and the nation's life.
Repeat Chorus
Ages ago, our
fathers firm and
loyal, Fougth for the faith,
fore'er the same; We are their
sons, our heritage is royal,
And we shall conquer in the Holy Name.
Repeat Chorus
Up, Christian
Soldiers, Christ who goes
before us, Shows us His cross and=20
leads the way; John Paul, our
Pontiff, guides, and God is o'er us,
Vict'ry is ours, if we but watch and pray.
Repeat Chorus
Hymn to Blessed
John of Vercelli
By Martha Laurelli
( Martha dedicated
this hymn to her father, Benedict C. Laurelli, who was a life-long
member of the Holy Name Society, and to the men of the Holy Name
Society of St. Richard's Church, in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia
)
O Bles-sed John,
faithful fol-lower of Jesus,
Show us the way to ac-cept Christ's call.
O man of peace, great scho-lar, hum-ble preach-er
Guide us to live God's Word, be tol-er-ant of all.
O Bles-sed John, true a-pos-tle of Christ Je-sus,
Help us to i-mi-tate your rev'rence for the Lord.
Man of love, of hope, of faith, of wis-dom
With you we praise Christ's Name for-ev-er-more;
With you we praise Christ's Name for-ev-er-more.
