Text and metadata are organized from Hymnary’s ELHB index pages and ELHL1918 instance pages.

1 Father of glory, to Thy name
Immortal praise we give,
Who dost an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us rebels live.
2 Immortal honor to the Son,
Who makes Thine anger cease;
Our lives He ransomed with His own,
And died to make our peace.
3 To Thine almighty Spirit be
Immortal glory given,
Whose teachings brings us near to Thee,
And trains us up for heaven.
4 Let men, with their united voice
Adore th'eternal God,
And spread His honors and their joys
Through nations far abroad.
