Gloria Patri, 7
From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
Father of mankind, Be ever adored;
Thy mercy we find, In sending our Lord
To ransom and bless us; Thy goodness we praise
For sending, in Jesus, Salvation by grace.
O Son of His love, Who deignedst to die,
Our curse to remove, Our pardon to buy;
Accept our thanksgiving, Almighty to save,
Who openest heaven To all that believe.
O Spirit of love, Of health, and of power,
Thy working we prove, Thy grace we adore,
Whose inward revealing Applies our Lord's blood,
Attesting and sealing us Children of God.
