Lyrics

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.

Glory to the Son we bring,
Christ our pro­phet, priest and king;
Children, raise your sweet­est strain
To the Lamb, for He was slain.

Glory to the Ho­ly Ghost,
Be this day a Pen­te­cost;
Children’s minds may He in­spire,
Touch their tongues with ho­ly fire.

Glory in the high­est be
To the bless­èd Tri­ni­ty,
For the Gos­pel from above,
For the word that God is love.
