Gloria Patri IV Father of mankind, whose love In Christ for all is free, Thou hast sent him from above To bring us all to thee: Thou hast every heart inclin'd, Christ the Saviour to embrace, All those heavenly drawings find, All may be saved by grace. Christ, the true and living light, Thou shinest into all, Lightest every son of night That fell in Adam's fall: Bear we witness unto thee, Thou thy light to all dost give, That the world thro' it might see Their Saviour, and believe. Holy Ghost, all-quickning fire, Thou givest each his day, Dost one spark of life inspire In every castaway; Not to aggravate his sin, Not his sorer doom to seal, But that he might let thee in, And all thy fulness feel. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, All glory be to thee, The whole world of sinners lost To save thou dost agree: Thee triumphantly we praise, Vie with all thy hosts above, Shout thine universal grace, Thine everlasting love.
