Holy, Holy, Holy — A Song of Reverent Praise to Jehovah, Our Shepherd and Creator
1. The Essence of Holiness
The song “Holy, Holy, Holy” is a reverent declaration of Jehovah’s unmatched purity and perfection. The repetition of the word “holy” echoes the vision of the heavenly creatures in Revelation 4:8, who continually proclaim:
“Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming.”
It’s a song meant not just to be sung, but felt — each line lifting the heart toward the divine.
2. The Creator and Shepherd
“He who made the heavens and the earth below.”
From the vast galaxies to the smallest flower, Jehovah’s creative power surrounds us. Yet, He is not only Creator — He is also Shepherd.
“Our guide and grand shepherd who faithf’ly leads us.”
This brings to mind Psalm 23, where Jehovah gently leads His people to refreshing waters and righteous paths.
3. The River of Blessings
One of the most poetic lines in the song is:
“A river of blessings and light fall on you.”
It’s both imagery and promise — reflecting Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of Jehovah — it makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it.”
This “river” represents the continual outpouring of Jehovah’s love and wisdom on those who walk faithfully in His ways.
4. The Call to Praise
The closing refrain —
“Holy, holy, holy, praise Jehovah!” —
is a joyful cry from a grateful heart. It invites every listener to join in unified worship, to acknowledge that Jehovah alone deserves all praise and honor.
5. Reflection
This song is a gentle reminder that true prosperity is not found in material gain but in the light of obedience and faithfulness. When we keep Jehovah’s ways, His blessings flow continually — as steady and life-giving as a river.
Let every note of “Holy, Holy, Holy” become your personal act of worship, and every breath a whisper of thanks to the One who leads us in light.
6. Lyrics
Holy, holy, holy
Is our God Jehovah
He who made the heavens
And the earth below
A river of blessings and light fall on you
The obedient and faithful will prosper always
Holy, holy, holy
Is our God Jehovah
Our guide and grand shepherd
Who faithf’ly leads us
A river of blessings and light fall on you
The obedient and faithful will prosper always
Holy, holy, holy
Praise Jehovah
Holy, holy, holy
Praise the true God
