Lyrics

For God so loved! Oh, won­drous theme!
Oh! won­drous key to won­drous scheme!
A Sav­ior sent to sin­ful men—
Glory to God the Fa­ther!

Refrain

Glory to God the Fa­ther!
Glory to God the Fa­ther!
Glory, glo­ry, glo­ry to God the Fa­ther!

In love God gave, in love Christ came,
That man might know the Fa­ther’s name,
And in the Son sal­va­tion claim—
Glory to God the Fa­ther!

Refrain

As man He tar­ried here be­low,
The pow­er and love of God to show;
To help and heal all hu­man woe—
Glory to God the Fa­ther!

Refrain

Upon the cross His life He gave,
His peo­ple from their sins to save;
For them des­cend­ed to the grave—
Glory to God the Fa­ther!

Refrain

By God ex­alt­ed from the dead,
He reigns on high, the liv­ing Head
Of ev­ery soul for whom He bled—
Glory to God the Fa­ther!
