Gloria Patri, 16
From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
Religion
Father, Lord of earth and heaven,
Take the praise
Of Thy grace
By Thy creatures given.
Son of God, let all confess Thee
One with Him;
God supreme,
Saints and angels bless Thee.
Holy Ghost, let all before Thee
Prostrate fall,
Lord of all,
Very God adore Thee.
Let us soon in heavenly places,
One and Three,
Render Thee
Everlasting praises.
