THE CHRISTIAN DOXOLOGY.
Long Metre.
To God the Father, God the Son,And God the Spirit Three in One,
Be honour, praise, and glory given,
By all on earth, and all in heaven.
Common Metre.
Let God the Father, and the Son,And Spirit be ador'd,
Where there are works to make him known,
Or saints to love the Lord.
Common Metre.
I
The God of mercy be ador'd,Who calls our souls from death,
Who saves by his redeeming word,
And new-creating breath.
II
To praise the Father and the SonAnd Spirit all divine,
The One in Three, and Three in One,
Let saints and angels join.
Short Metre.
Ye angels round the throne,And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father, praise the Son,
And bless the Spirit too.
As the 113th Psalm.
Now to the great and sacred Three,The Father, Son, and Spirit be
Eternal praise and glory given,
Thro' all the worlds where God is known,
By all the angels near the throne,
And all the saints in earth and heaven.
As the 148th Psalm.
To God the Father's thronePerpetual honours raise;
Glory to God the Son,
To God the Spirit praise;
With all our powers,
Eternal King,
Thy name we sing,
While faith adores.
