Wesley Corpus

Gloria Patri III Source: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love (1742) Author: Charles Wesley --- Father of our dear Lord, Thy mercy we record, Over all thy works it shone, Mercy freely thee inclin'd, Mercy gave thine only Son Death to taste for all mankind. O Lamb, for sinners slain, For every soul of man, Thou for all men lifted up, Drawest all men unto thee: Glory be to Christ our hope! All the world may hope in thee. Thee, Holy Ghost, we praise, Giver of general grace, Preacher thou to spirits bound, Dost for harden'd sinners grieve, Those who while he may be found, Will not come to God and live. Blessing, and praise to thee, All-glorious Trinity! Live by all thy works ador'd, All below and all above, Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of grace, and God of love.
