Gloria Patri, 13
From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord,
Thrice blessed Trinity,
By all Thy heavenly hosts adored,
Ere man began to be;
Worshipp'd by all Thy saints below,
The God of truth and grace,
Through faith the great Three-One they know,
And triumph in Thy praise.
The upper and the lower choir
Shall soon be join'd in one,
And both triumphantly conspire
To worship round Thy throne:
Angels and saints, when time shall end,
Shall all Thy love display,
And in Thy glorious praises spend
An everlasting day.
