Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CLIX (1790) Lyrics: 1 Glory be to God on high,
God, whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth to man forgiv'n,
Man the well-belov'd of heav'n.
2 Sov'reign Father, heav'nly King,
Thee we now presume to sing,
Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all and numberless.
3 Hail, by all thy works ador'd;
Hail, the everlasting Lord;
Thee with thankful hearts we prove,
Lord of pow'r and God of love!
4 Christ our Lord and God we own;
Christ, the Father's only Son:
Lamb of God for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.
5 Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement thou:
Jesu, in thy name we pray,
Take, O take our sins away.
6 Pow'rful Advocate with God,
Justify us by thy blood!
Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the worlds atonement thou. Topics: Praise Languages: English
