Glory to the Father Give

lyricist: James Montgomery, 1821
Composer: Joel Blomqvist, 1877

Glory to the Fa­ther give

God in whom we move and live;

Children’s pray­ers He deigns to hear

Children’s songs de­light His ear.

Glory to the Son we bring

Christ our pro­phet

priest and king;

Children

raise your sweet­est strain

To the Lamb

for He was slain.

Glory to the Ho­ly Ghost

Be this day a Pen­te­cost;

Children’s minds may He in­spire

Touch their tongues with ho­ly fire.

Glory in the high­est be

To the bless­èd Tri­ni­ty

For the Gos­pel from ab­ove

For the word that God is love.
