Hymn

We Give Immortal Praise

Metre 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4.

We give immortal praise

To God the Father’s love,

For all our comforts here,

And all our hopes above;

He sent His own Eternal Son

To die for sins that man had done.

To God the Son belongs

Immortal glory too,

Who saved us by His blood

From everlasting woe:

And now He lives, and now He reigns,

And sees the fruit of all His pains.

To God the Spirit praise

And endless worship give,

Whose new-creating power

Makes the dead sinner live:

His work completes the great design

And fills the soul with joy divine.

Almighty God, to Thee

Be endless honors done;

The sacred Persons Three,

The Godhead only One;

Where reason fails with all her powers,

There faith prevails, and love adores.

Amen.
