Gloria Patri XI Source: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love (1742) Author: Charles Wesley --- Father of earth and heaven, All glory be to thee, Who self-inclin'd hast freely given Thy Son to die for me: For me, and all that breathe, For all of Adam's race The second Adam tasted death, By thy all-pard'ning grace. We bless the saving name, Jesus, the sinner's peace, The Saviour of mankind proclaim, The Lord our righteousness, Whose gift is come to all: For all the Lamb hath died; The world may listen to his call, The world is justified. We glorify the Dove Who strives with every soul, And witnesses, that God is love, When he hath made us whole; Witnesses with the blood That it for all did stream, That all thro' Christ may come to God, May all be saved thro' him. We magnify the grace, The universal love Of Father, Son, and Spirit praise With all the hosts above: Till Christ on earth appears, Angels, on you we call, Come praise with us, ye morning-stars, The Lamb that died for all. With us together sing, Your tongues, and harps employ, To sound the glories of our King; Ye angels shout for joy! For joy that God hath died That we might be forgiven, And find with all the sanctified Our names enroll'd in heaven. Worthy, O Lamb, art thou That all thy name should bless, That every knee to thee should bow, And every tongue confess: Thee, Jesus, thee we own For every sinner slain, With him that sitteth on the throne, Worthy art thou to reign. Hosannah to the Son! Hosannah cry aloud, Then cast your crowns before the throne, Ye first-born sons of God! With you we now adore, Low at his footstool fall, And praise, and worship evermore The Lamb that died for all!
