289. Glory to the Father give

1 Glory to the Father give,
God in whom we move and live:
Children's prayers He deigns to hear;
Children's songs delight His ear.

2 Glory to the Son we bring,
Christ, our Prophet, Priest, and King:
Children, raise your sweetest strain
To the Lamb, for He was slain.

3 Glory to the Holy Ghost,
Who reclaims the sinner lost:
Children's minds may He inspire,
Touch their tongues with holy fire.

4 Glory in the highest be
To the blessed Trinity,
For the gospel from above,
For the word that "God is love.
