Gloria Patri, 23
From Gloria Patri; or, Hymns to the Trinity (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
All worship and praise
To the Ancient of Days,
The Father, the Word, and the Spirit of Grace!
With our friends in the sky
Let us glorify
The mystical Three that bear record on high!
The Three that are One
In a manner unknown,
The Substance Divine in a mystery, own,
Till in Him we remove
To His presence above,
And eternally plunge in the depths of His love.
