167. Glory Be to God the Father

1 Glory be to God the Father!
Glory be to God the Son!
Glory be to God the Spirit!
God eternal, Three in One!

2 Glory be to God who loved us,
Washed us from each spot and stain!
Glory be to him who bought us,
Now with God on high to reign!

3 Glory to the king of angels!
Glory to the Church's king!
Glory to the king of nations!
Heav'n and earth, your praises bring!

4 Glory, blessing, praise eternal!
Thus the choir of angels sings.
Honor, riches, pow'r, dominion!
Thus its praise creation brings.

5 Glory be to God the Father!
Glory be to God the Son!
Glory be to God the Spirit!
God eternal, Three in One!
