HYMN 26. (1st L. M.) A Song of Praise to the ever-blessed Trinity. God the Father, Son, and Spirit.
I
Bless'd be the Father and his love,To whose celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joy above,
And rills of comfort here below.
II
Glory to thee, great Son of God,From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood,
Pardon and life for dying souls.
III
We give the sacred Spirit praise,Who in our hearts of sin and woe
Makes living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.
IV
Thus God the Father, God the Son,And God the Spirit, we adore,
That sea of life and love unknown
Without a bottom or a shore.
