Reginald
Heber wrote "Holy, Holy, Holy" while serving as vicar of Hodnet,
Shropshire, England. He was the first to compile a hymnal ordering hymns
around the church calendar. Wanting to celebrate a triune God, Heber
wrote "Holy, Holy, Holy" for Trinity Sunday--a day that reaffirmed the
doctrine of the Trinity and was observed eight Sundays after Easter. The
hymn was first published in 1826.
Years later, John Dykes composed the tune Nicaea especially for Heber's "Holy, Holy, Holy."
