Hail! Thou God of Grace and Glory

Author: T. W. Aveling Hymnal: Gloria Deo #619 (1901) First Line: Hail! thou God of grace and glory! Lyrics: 1 Hail! Thou God of grace and glory! Who Thy name hast magnified, By redemption’s wondrous story, By the Saviour crucified; Thanks to Thee for ev’ry blessing, Flowing from the Fount of love; Thanks for present good unceasing, And for hopes of bliss above. 2 Hear us, as thus bending lowly, Near Thy bright and burning throne; We invoke Thee, God most holy! Thro’ Thy well-beloved Son; Send the baptism of Thy Spirit, Shed the pentecostal fire; Let us all Thy grace inherit, Waken, crown each good desire. 3 Bind Thy people, Lord! in union, With the seven-fold cord of love; Breathe a spirit of communion With the glorious hosts above; Let Thy work be seen progressing; Bow each heart, and bend each knee; Till the world, Thy truth possessing, Celebrates its jubilee.
