813. Glory be to God on high

1 Glory be to God on high,
God, whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth to man forgiven,
Man, the well-beloved of heaven.

2 Sov'reign Father, heavenly King,
Thee we now presume to sing;
Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all, and numberless.

3 Hail, by all thy works adored!
Hail, the everlasting Lord!
Thee with thankful hearts we prove,
God of power and God of love.

4 Christ our Lord and God we own,
Christ, the Father's only Son;
Lamb of God for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.

5 Jesus, in thy name we pray,
Take, oh take our sins away;
Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement, thou!

6 Hear, for thou, O Christ, alone,
Art with thy great Father one;
One the Holy Ghost with thee,
One supreme eternal Three.
