a117. Father of glory! to Thy name

1 Father of glory! to Thy name
Immortal praise we give,
Who dost an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us rebels live.

2 Immortal honor to the Son,
Who makes Thine anger cease;
Our lives He ransomed with His own,
And died to make our peace.

3 To Thy Almighty Spirit be
Immortal glory given,
Whose teachings brings us near to Thee,
And trains us up for heaven.

4 Let men, with their united voice,
Adore th'eternal God,
And spread His honors and their joys,
Through nations far abroad.

5 Let faith, and love, and duty join,
One grateful song to raise;
And saints in earth and heav'n combine
In harmony and praise.
