Gloria Patri, 4

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Praise be to the Father given!
Christ He gave
Us to save,
Now the heirs of heaven.

Pay we equal adoration
To the Son:
He alone
Wrought out our salvation.

Glory to the Eternal Spirit!
Us He seals,
Christ reveals,
And applies His merit.

Worship, honour, thanks, and blessing,
One in Three,
Give we Thee,
Never, never ceasing!
