383. Praise to the Father

1 Praise to the Father for his loving-kindness,
tenderly caring for his erring children;
praise him, all angels, praise him in the heavens;
praise to the Father!

2 Praise to the Savior for his deep compassion,
graciously caring for his chosen people;
young men and women, aging folk and children,
Praise to the Savior!

3 Praise to the Spirit, comforter of Israel,
sent from the Father and the Son to bless us.
Praise ye the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
Praise to the triune God!
