On His Birthday, Hymn 38: Gloria Patrl

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)

Religion

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Mysterious One and Three,
We with Thy celestial host
Presume to worship Thee;
Still ourselves to Thee we give,
Who Thyself to us hast given,
Praise, and power, and love receive
From all in earth and heaven.
