Hymn

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Charles Wesley

Metre 7.7.7.7.7.7.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

One in Three, and Three in One,

As by the celestial host,

Let thy will on earth be done;

Praise by all to thee be given,

Gracious Lord of earth and heaven.

If so poor a worm as I

May to thy great glory live,

All my actions sanctify,

All my words and thoughts receive.

Claim me, for thy service claim

All I have, and all I am.

Take my soul and body's powers!

Take my mem'ry, mind, and will,

All my goods and all my hours,

All I know and all I feel:

All I think, or speak, or do;

Take my heart; but make it new!

Now, O God, thine own I am:

Now I give thee back thine own;

Freedom, friends, and health, and fame,

Consecrate to thee alone:

Thine I live, thrice happy I;

Happier still if thine I die.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

One in Three, and Three in One,

As by the celestial host,

Let thy will on earth be done:

Praise by all to thee be given,

Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.
