Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, Holy, Holy is a cherished Christian hymn composed by John Bacchus Dykes in 1861, with lyrics by Reginald Heber. Rooted in the imagery of Revelation 4:8, the hymn exalts the holiness and eternal majesty of God. The tune Nicaea, composed by Dykes, is widely recognized for its stately and reverent character. This rendition features an arrangement by Brent Edstrom, who brings a jazz-influenced harmonic richness to the traditional hymn. While the arrangement introduces contemporary textures and color, the performance was delivered with heartfelt sincerity and spiritual depth, emphasizing worship over musical display. The piece was performed live during an AVT broadcast Divine Service at the New Apostolic Church in Retreat East on 8 October 2023.
