Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
We give immortal praise
to God the Father’s love
for all our comforts here
and better hopes above:
he sent his own eternal Son
to die for sins that we had done.
2. To God the Son belongs
immortal glory too,
who bought us with his blood
from everlasting woe:
and now he lives, and now he reigns,
and sees the fruit of all his pains.
3. To God the Spirit’s name
immortal worship give,
whose new-creating power
makes the dead sinner live:
his work completes the great design,
and fills the soul with joy divine.
4. To God the Trinity
be endless honours done,
the undivided Three,
and the mysterious One:
where reason fails with all her powers,
there faith prevails, and love adores.
