III.XXXVIII. I give immortal praise

1 I give immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all my comforts here,
And better hopes above.
He sent his own
Eternal Son
To die for sins
That man had done.

2 To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,
Who bought us with his blood,
From everlasting woe;
And now he lives,
And now he reigns,
And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.

3 To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new creating pow'r
Makes the dead sinner live;
His work completes
The great design,
And fills the soul
With joy divine.

4 Almighty God! to thee
Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious One:
Where reason fails
With all her powers,
There faith prevails
And love adores.
