Religion

The Doxologie

by Richard Baxter 1615–1691

From Paraphrase on the Psalms of David in Metre (1692)

Religion

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One God in Trinity,
As ever was, and as now is,
All Glory ever be.

Or,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One God in Persons three,
Or, One undivided three.
Or, One consubstantial three.
Or, One coeternal three.
All humble thanks and joyful praise,
Or, [All highest praise and humble thanks
Now and for ever be.
Or, [For ever rendred be.]

Or,
All Glory to the Blessed Three,
One ever-living Lord;
As at the first, still shall he be
Belov'd, Obey'd, Ador'd.

Or,
All Glory, Honour, Power, and Praise
To God that's One in Three,
As it in the beginning was,
Is now and still shall be.

Or,
All Glory to the Blessed Three,
All Honour, Power, and Praise,
As at the first, shall ever be
Beyond the end of days.

Or,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
All [Praise and] Glory be therefore;
As in beginning was, is now,
And shall be [henceforth] evermore.

Or,
Glory to thee, O Lord,
One God in Persons Three:
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One equal Glory be.
