HYMN 1

GLORY BE TO GOD THE FATHER

 

Verse 1

Glory be to God the Father,

Glory be to God the Son,

Glory be to God the Spirit,

Great Jehovah, Three in One

Glory, glory,

While eternal ages run!

 

Verse 2

Glory be to Him Who loved us,

Wash'd us from each spot and stain;

Glory be to Him Who bought us,

Made us kings with Him to reign;

Glory, glory,

To the Lamb that once was slain!

 

Verse 3

Glory, blessing, praise eternal,

Thus the choir of angels sings;

Honour, riches, power, dominion,

Thus its praise creation brings:

Glory, glory,

Glory to the King of kings!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HYMN 2

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

 

Verse 1

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!

Early in the morning our songs shall rise to Thee;

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

 

Verse 2

Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,

Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

 

Verse 3

Holy, holy, holy, though the darkness hide Thee,

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,

Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee

Perfect in power, in love, in purity!

 

Verse 4

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth, and sky, and sea;

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

 

 

HYMN 3

PRAISE TO GOD, IMMORTAL PRAISE

 

Verse 1

Praise to God, immortal praise,

For the love that crowns our days;

Bounteous source of every joy,

Let Thy praise our tongues employ.

 

Verse 2

These to Thee, my God, we owe,

Source whence all our blessings flow;

And for these my soul shall raise

Grateful vows and solemn praise.

 

Verse 3

Now in faith, in hope, in love,

We will join the choirs above,

Praising, with the heavenly Host,

FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST.

 

Verse 4

Yet to Thee my soul shall raise

Grateful vows and solemn praise;

And, when every blessing's flown

Love Thee for Thyself alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HYMN 4.

FATHER OF HEAVEN ABOVE

 

Verse 1

Father of heaven above,

Dwelling in light and love.

Ancient of days,

Light unapproachable,

Love inexpressible,

Thee, the invisible,

Laud we and praise.

 

Verse 2

Christ the eternal Word,

Christ the incarnate Lord,

Saviour of all,

High throned above all height

God of God, Light of Light,

Increate, infinite,

On Thee we call.

 

Verse 3

O God, the Holy Ghost

Whose fires of Pentecost

Burn evermore,

In this far wilderness

Leave us not comfortless;

Thee we love, Thee we bless,

Thee we adore.

 

Verse 4

Strike your harps, heavenly powers;

With your glad chants shall ours

Trembling ascend;

All praise, O God, to Thee,

Three in One, One in Three,

Praise everlastingly,

World without end.
