Father of Glory, to Thy Name

lyricist: Isaac Watts, ca. 1721
Composer: Johann Crüger, 1647

Father of glo­ry

to Thy name

Immortal praise we give

Who dost an act of grace pro­claim

And bid us re­bels live.

Immortal hon­or to the Son

Who makes Thine an­ger cease;

Our lives He ran­somed with His own

And died to make our peace.

To Thine al­migh­ty Spir­it be

Immortal glo­ry giv’n

Whose teach­ings bring us near to Thee

And train us up for Heav’n.

Let men with their unit­ed voice

Adore th’eter­nal God

And spread His hon­ors and their joys

Through na­tions far abroad.

Let faith and love and du­ty join

One grate­ful song to raise;

Let saints in earth and Heav’n com­bine

In har­mo­ny and praise.
