1 Glory be to God the Father,
And to Christ the Son,
Glory to the Holy Spirit —
Ever One.
2 As we view the vast creation,
Planned with wondrous skill,
So our hearts would move to worship,
And be still.
3 But, our God, how great Thy yearning
To have sons who love
In the Son e'en now to praise Thee,
Love to prove!
4 'Twas Thy thought in revelation,
To present to men
Secrets of Thine own affections,
Theirs to win.
5 So in Christ, through His redemption
(Vanquished evil powers!)
Thou hast brought, in new creation,
Worshippers!
6 Glory be to God the Father,
And to Christ the Son,
Glory to the Holy Spirit —
Ever One.
