1 Corinthians 2:8: The Lord of glory

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Father of all, we worship Thee!
The God of glory is Thy name;
Jesus, the filial Deity,
The Lord of glory we proclaim;
And the bless'd Spirit of holiness,
The Spirit of glory we confess.

Each Person we alike adore,
The sole, the self-existing God,
The God supreme for evermore,
Who hath on us Himself bestow'd;
Who bids us in His image rise,
To share His glory in the skies.
