Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 51

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Our thanks and hearts we give:
We now are found who once were lost,
And dead, again we live.

We live to praise and magnify
The glorious Three and One,
In songs of joyful love to vie
With angels round His throne.

More highly favour'd we than those
Who never sinn'd or fell:
The Triune God hath saved His foes,
And pluck'd us out of hell:

We grow in grace, abound in hope,
His prodigals forgiven;
And when our faith is quite fill'd up,
He takes us all to heaven.
