Gloria Patri, 14

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Paternal Source of Deity,
Accept the thanks Thy creatures bring;
Jesus, Thy Filial Godhead we
With angels and archangels sing;
Honour Divine and equal praise
To Thee, O Holy Ghost, be given
In glorious everlasting lays,
When earth is swallow'd up in heaven.
