Hymn 118 - "Glory be to God the Father,"

Glory be to God the Father,

And to Christ the Son,

Glory to the Holy Spirit—

Ever One.

As we view the vast creation,

Planned with wondrous skill,

So our minds would move to worship,

And be still.

But, our God, how great Thy yearning

To have sons who love,

In Thy house e'en now to praise Thee,

Then above!

 'Twas Thy thought in revelation,

To present to men

Secrets of Thine own affections,

Theirs to win.

So in Christ, through His redemption

(Vanquished evil powers!),

Thou hast brought, in new creation,

Worshippers!

Glory be to God the Father,

And to Christ the Son,

Glory to the Holy Spirit—

Ever One.
