Lyrics

Glory be to God on high
Glory to the Son;
Glory to the Ho­ly Ghost,
Matchless Three in One!
Who in the be­gin­ning were,
In the pre­sent be;
Who shall reign world with­out end,
Through eter­ni­ty.

Thee we wor­ship, Thee ad­ore,
Matchless Three in One!
By our hea­ven­ly Fa­ther loved,
Ransomed by His Son,
By the Spir­it pu­ri­fied,
And from day to day
Guarded on, so watch­ful­ly,
Lest we go as­tray.

Thee we wor­ship, Thee adore,
Matchless Three in One!
Oh, accept our hum­ble praise,
Father, Spir­it, Son;
May the holy Com­fort­er
Be our con­stant guide;
Then with Thee, in earth and Hea­ven,
Truly we’ll abide.
