A Collection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#XXXVII

XXXVII. Gloria Patri

1 Blest be the Father and his Love,
To whose celestial Source we owe
Rivers of endless Joys above,
And Rills of Comfort here below.

2 Glory to thee, great Son of God,
From whose dear wounded Body rolls
A precious Stream of vital Blood,
Pardon and Life for dying Souls.

3 We give the sacred Spirit Praise,
Who in our Hearts of Sin and Woe
Makes living Springs of Grace arise,
And into boundless Glory flow.

4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit we adore;
That Sea of Life and Love unknown
Without a Bottom or a Shore.
