139. Glory be to God the Father!

1 Glory be to God the Father!
Glory be to God the Son!
Glory be to God the Spirit!
God Eternal, Three in One!

2 Glory be to him who loved us,
Washed us from each spot and stain!
Glory be to him who bought us,
Made us kings with Him to reign! A-men.

3 Glory to the King of angels!
Glory to the Church's King!
Glory to the King of nations!
Heaven and earth, your praises bring!

4 Glory, blessing, praise eternal!
Thus the choir of angels sings;
Honor, riches, power, dominion!
Thus its praise creation brings.

5 Glory be to God the Father!
Glory be to God the Son!
Glory be to God the Spirit!
God Eternal, Three in One!

Amen.
