Gloria Patri, 10
From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
All glory and praise
To the God of all grace!
The Father of Him
Who died on a cross the whole world to redeem.
All honour and love
To the Saviour above,
The glorified Son,
Who remembers and sends us the Comforter down.
The Spirit adore
Till time is no more,
And then the One-Three
Our matter of endless rejoicing shall be:
We then in the sky
Hallelujah shall cry,
And the praise of our King
Through the days of an happy eternity sing.
