It has been in use since the 1970s at least, and possibly earlier: A version with the
tune only slightly different to the one here was included in
Songs of Praise from Scripture in Song which was published in New Zealand in 1973.
The author and composer are unknown: If you have any information about it, please leave a message in the Comments box near the bottom of the page.
Because the words mention Christ's death, resurrection and coming-again, the first verse is sometimes used as the Sanctus in liturgical services, although the lyrics are a little different from many of the standard translations. It can also be used as a general praise hymn, with extra verses ("mighty", "worthy" added as necessary.
There are a number of variations of the tune in use around the world - both the melody line, and the accompaniment.
Holy is the Lord God almighty.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord,
Holy is the Lord God almighty.
Who was, and is, and is to come,
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord.
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lord,
Worthy is the Lord God almighty.
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lord,
Worthy is the Lord God almighty.
Who was, and is, and is to come,

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is the Lord,
Jesus is the Lord God almighty.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is the Lord,
Jesus is the Lord God almighty.
Who was, and is, and is to come,
