Lyrics

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, glo­ry, glo­ry,
While eter­nal ag­es run!

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!
Glory, glo­ry, glo­ry, glo­ry,
To the Lamb that once was slain!

Glory to the King of an­gels,
Glory to the Church’s king,
Glory to the King of na­tions!
Heav’n and earth, your prais­es bring;
Glory, glo­ry, glo­ry, glo­ry,
To the King of glo­ry bring!

Glory, bless­ing, praise eter­nal!
Thus the choir of an­gels sings;
Honor, rich­es, pow­er, do­min­ion!
Thus its praise cre­ation brings;
Glory, glo­ry, glo­ry, glo­ry,
Glory to the King of kings!
