About Holy, Holy, Holy

Words: Reginald Heber (written by 1823)

Tune: John Bacchus Dykes, "Nicaea" (1861)

Holy, Holy, Holy is Reginald Heber's hymn for Trinity Sunday, written while he was rector of Hodnet in Shropshire. Its earliest known printing is from 1826, the year he died in India, and his widow published it in his Hymns of 1827. Its tune, Nicaea, is John Bacchus Dykes's, written for Hymns Ancient and Modern in 1861, where the hymn is No. 135. Our arrangement is read from that page, in E as printed, on Dykes's harmony, with the alto and tenor revoiced for small groups and no Amen. This is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers, steady and broad: the tune climbs the home chord on "Holy, holy, holy", and the bass sings Dykes's own line.
