This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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.
