1 Glory be to God the Father,
glory be to God the Son,
glory be to God the Spirit,
God almighty, Three-in-One!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
while eternal ages run.
2 Glory to the One who loved us,
washed us from each sin and stain;
glory to the One who bought us,
raised us up to serve and reign.
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
to the Lamb that once was slain.
3 "Glory, blessing, praise eternal!"
angel coirs their hymns prolong:
"Honour, riches, power, dominion!"
echoes all creation's song.
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
praises to our God belong.
Optional Verse:
Glory be to God our Maker,
God Redeemer, holy Son;
glory be to God the Spirit,
God almighty, Three-in-One!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
while eternal ages run.
