It actually means 'The Thrice Holy Hymn'
It comes from the Greek.
The words "Trisagion Prayer" refers to "the triple invocation honoring the Trinity".
With the Melkites it would be sung in English, Arabic, and Greek
+Holy God! Holy Mighty One! Holy Immortal One! Have mercy on us. (three times)
+Quddouson (Qudooson) Allah! Quddouson ul-qawee! Quddouson ulladhee la yamout! Irhamna. (three times)
+Agios O Theos! Agios Eeskhiros! Agios Athanatos! Eleison imas! (three times)
Holy God - Quddouson Allah - Agios O Theos
Holy God is completely spiritual and uncreated. He is beyond any being which we can imagine. He is infinite, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving. He is the creator of all creatures including the angels, human beings and the whole material world. Holy God is a Holy Trinity of Three Persons while remaining One in essence. Often, it is said that The Trinity is the One God in three Persons or three Persons in One God. The three Persons are: Holy God the Father, Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, and Holy God the Holy Spirit.
The Second Person of the Holy Trinity became a human being like us. Therefore, Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ is the Son of Holy God. Through His life, death and resurrection, He has made possible our "eternal life" after we fall asleep in the Lord.
Holy God made us and loves us. Holy God made us so that we would praise and serve Him. By helping Him bring all creation to its fulfillment in the Kingdom of Holy God we hasten the day of the parousia (Jesus' second coming) when Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ will offer the kingdom to Holy God the Father in an act of adoration (1Cor. 15:24). Then, Holy God will be all in all.
An Explanation Rev. Fr. Dennis C. Smolarski S.J., Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA, wrote the explanation below. Whenever human beings speak about God, the words we use always pale in comparison to the reality we try to describe. Hence, in the words of the Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints John Chrysostom, God is the one "whose might is beyond description, whose glory surpasses all understanding, whose mercy is without limits, whose love for the human race is beyond expression." The great anaphora (eucharistic prayer) of the Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints John Chrysostom speaks of God as "ineffable, inconceivable, invisible, incomprehensible, ever existing, yet ever the same."
St. John the Evangelist and Apostle attempted to describe God when he wrote that "God is love, and those who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them" (1 John 4:16).
Christians believe that, since God is love, God is a community expressing love, a community of three, called throughout the ages by the names of "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" (cf. Mt 28:19, 2 Cor 13:13).
The mystery of God revealed in time is the mystery of Christ (cf. Col 2:2), the Word who become flesh and dwelt among us (cf. Jn 1:14), and whose death and resurrection restored us to life (cf. Easter Tropar, "Christ is risen from the dead, by death he conquered death, and to those in the tombs, he granted life!").
The mystery of God is the mystery of the gift of the Spirit, given to the apostles on Easter (cf. Jn 20:22) and in a very dramatic way on Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:1:4). The Spirit continues to enliven and guide the Church throughout the ages (cf. prayer to begin the Liturgy: "Heavenly King, ... Spirit of Truth, present everywhere and filling all things ...").
The Church has attempted, feebly at times, to try to capture their faith in the inexpressible mystery of God---Father, Son, and Holy Spirit---via various Creeds or statements of belief. One of the oldest was first composed at the Council of Nicea (325) and refined at the Council of Constantinople. We present it now:
