BOOM -> water
H2 + 1/2 O2 -> H2O.
That's one reason zeplins always burned when struck by lightning.
it's what's used as fuel for the main engines of most space rockets. (that's what is in the space shuttle's external tank)

Anything which burns in oxygen gets oxydised. And oxydation of hydrogen results in water. The chemical equation is as under:
2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
The reaction however has to be done in a controlled manner else it may lead to an explosion. Hydrogen is the purest fuel as no residue is left and no harmful gases are emitted.
