By all the powers and thrones in heaven,
Eternal praise to thee is given.
3 Apostles join the glorious throng,
And swell the loud triumphant song:
Prophets and martyrs hear the sound,
And spread the hallelujah round.
4 Glory to thee, O God most high!
Father, we praise thy majesty:
The Son, the Spirit, we adore;
One Godhead, blest for evermore.
OUR Father, who dost lead
The children of thy grace,
A new-born and believing seed,
Through this wide wilderness:
Thy providential care
In dangers past we own;
Still let thine arm be ever near;
Still let thy love be shown.
O Saviour, Lamb of God!
Our gracious dying Friend!
Reveal the virtue of thy blood,
On us thy mercy send;
Thou art a Master kind,
With voice and person sweet;
Bestow on us a loving mind,
And keep us at thy feet.
Thou, Holy Spirit, art
Of truth the promised Seal;
Convincing power thou dost impart,
And Jesus' grace reveal:
O, breathe thy quick'ning breath, And light and life afford; Instruct us how to live by faith, And glorify the Lord.
GLORY to the Almighty Father,
Fountain of eternal love,
Who, his wand'ring sheep to gather,
Sent a Saviour from above.
2 To the Son all praise be given,
Who, with love unknown before,
Left the bright abode of heaven,
And our sin and sorrows bore.
3 Equal strains of warm devotion
Let the Spirit's praise employ;
Author of each pure emotion;
Source of wisdom, peace, and joy.
4 Thus, while our glad hearts, ascending, Glorify Jehovah's name,
Heavenly songs with ours are blending;
There the theme is still the same.
SOVEREIGN Father, heavenly King,
Thee we now presume to sing;
Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all, and numberless.
2 Hail! by all thy works adored!
Hail, the everlasting Lord!
Thee with thankful hearts we prove,
God of power, and God of love.
3 Christ our Lord and God we own,
Christ, the Father's only Son;
Lamb of God, for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.
4 Jesus, in thy name we pray,
Take, O take our sins away;
Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, our great Atonement, thou!
5 Hear, for thou, O Christ, alone,
Art with thy blest Father one;
One the Holy Ghost with thee;
One supreme eternal Three.
FATHER of heaven, whose love pro
A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy pardoning love extend.
2 Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.
3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quickening power extend.
4 Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead! Three in One!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.
GOD of our life! thy boundless grace, With humble, grateful love, we see; Our rest, our home, our dwelling-place, Father! we come, we come to thee. 2 Jesus our hope, our rock, our shield! Whose precious blood was shed so free, Into thy hands our souls we yield;
Saviour! we come, we come to thee.
3 Spirit of glory and of God!
O wilt thou deign our guide to be; Now be thy comfort sweet bestowed, Spirit! we come, we come to thee. 4 We come to join that countless host Who praise thy name unceasingly; Blest Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Our God! we come, we come to thee. 7s & 6s.
ATHER of our dying Lord!
Remember us for good;
O fulfil his faithful word,
And hear his speaking blood.
Give us that for which he prays:
Father! glorify thy Son:
Show his truth, and power, and grace,
And send the promise down.
2 True and faithful Witness thou,
O Christ! the Spirit give,
Hast thou not received him now,
That we might him receive?
Art thou not our living Head?
To thy members life impart:
Shed thy love, thy Spirit shed,
In every waiting heart.
3 Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
The gift of Jesus, come!
Grant us now to find thee near,
And make our hearts thy home.
Let us thy best influence feel:
Come, O come, and in us be:
With us, in us, live and dwell
To all eternity.
GLORIOUS, thou, in holiness,
Father, didst thy rights maintain;
Truth and grace at once express,
When thy only Son was slain:
Here is deepest wisdom seen;
Here the richest stores of grace;
Mildest love and justice keen;
O how bright their mingled rays!
2 Fearful thou in praises too,
Loving Saviour, bleeding Lamb!
We with joy and reverence view
All thy glory, all thy shame!
Be thy death the death of sin,
Be thy life the sinner's plea;
Save us, teach us, rule within-
Prophet, Priest, and King, thus be.
3 Wonder-working Spirit, thine
The efficacious grace we sing;
Set on us thy seal divine,
Safely to the kingdom bring;
