I CANNOT persuade myself to put a full period to these Divine Hymns, till I have addressed a special song of glory to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the Latin name of it, Gloria Patrí, be retained in our nation from the Roman church, and though there may be some excesses of superstitious honour paid to the words of it, which may have wrought some unhappy prejudices in weaker Christians, yet I believe it still to be one of the noblest parts of Christian worship. The subject of it is the doctrine of the Trinity, which is that peculiar glory of the Divine Nature, that our Lord Jesus Christ has so clearly revealed unto men, and is so necessary to true Christianity. The action is praise, which is one of the most complete and exalted parts of heavenly worship. I have cast the song into a variety of forms, and have fitted it by a plain version, or a larger paraphrase, to be sung either alone, or at the conclusion of another Hymn. I have added also a few hosannas, or ascriptions of salvation to Christ, in the same manner, and for the same end.

DOXOLOGIES.

HYMN 26. 1st. L. M.

A song of praise to the ever-blessed Trinity,
God the Father, Son, and Spirit.

1

BLESSED be the Father and his love,

To whose celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joy above,
And rills of comfort here below.

2 Glory to thee, great Son of God,
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood,
Pardon and life for dying souls.
3 We give the sacred Spirit praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and woe
Makes living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.

4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit we adore:
That sea of life and love unknown,
Without a bottom or a shore.

1

HYMN 27. 1st. C. M.

GLORY to God the Father's name,

Who from our race

Chose out his favourites to proclaim
The honours of his grace.

2 Glory to God the Son be paid,
Who dwelt in humble clay,
And, to redeem us from the dead,
Gave his own life away.

3 Glory to God the Spirit give,

From whose almighty power

Our souls their heavenly birth derive,
And bless the happy hour.

4 Glory to God that reigns above,
The eternal Three and One,
Who by the wonders of his love
Has made his nature known.

HYMN 35. Or thus:

Hand everlasting One;

ONOUR to the almighty Three,

All glory to the Father be,
The Spirit, and the Son.

HYMN 36. 3d. S. M.

YE angels round the throne.

And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father, love the Son,
And bless the Spirit too.
