Gloria Patri, 6
From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
Let heaven and earth agree
The Father's praise to sing,
Who draws us to the Son, that He
May us to glory bring.
Honour and endless love
Let God the Son receive,
Who saves us here, and prays above,
That we with Him may live.
Be everlasting praise
To God the Spirit given,
Who now attests us sons of grace,
And seals us heirs of heaven.
Drawn, and redeem'd, and seal'd,
We'll sing the One and Three,
With Father, Son, and Spirit fill'd
To all eternity.
