Gloria Patri, 10

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on God's Everlasting Love, Second Series (1742) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Publish we our FATHER'S praise,
Saved by His unbounded grace;
Christ He gave for all that breathe,
Christ for all hath tasted death.

CHRIST we praise, our God above;
He is pure unspotted love,
Hateth nothing He hath made,
Died in every sinner's stead.

Let us the Good SPIRIT bless,
Him the gift of Christ confess,
Listen to His general call,
Yield, and He will save us all.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Thee, with all the heavenly host,
We poor ransom'd worms adore
Now, henceforth, and evermore.
