CCLIV. Praise

1 Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky:
Peace on earth to man forgiv’n,
Man, the well belov'd of heav’n.

2 Sov’reign Father, heav’nly King,
Thee we now presume to sing;
Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all, and numberless.

3 Hail, by all thy works ador'd,
Hail the everlasting Lord!
Thee with thankful hearts we prove,
Lord of Pow’r, and God of love.

4 Christ our Lord and God we own,
Christ, the Father’s only Son,
Lamb of God for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.

5 Pow’rful advocate with God,
Justify us by thy blood;
Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear the world's atonement thou!

6 Hear; for thou, O Christ, alone;
With thy gracious Sire, art one,
One the Holy Ghost, with thee,
One supreme eternal three.
