1 Glory to the Father give,
God in Whom we move and live;
Children's prayers He deigns to hear,
Children's songs delight His ear.
2 Glory to the Son we bring,
Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King;
Children raise your sweetest strain
To the Lamb, for He was slain.
3 Glory to the Holy Ghost;
He reclaims the sinner lost;
Children's minds may He inspire,
Touch their tongues with holy fire.
4 Glory in the highest be
To the blessèd Trinity,
For the Gospel from above,
For the word, that "God is love."
