Praise, praise the Father, God of our salvation, author of life, Creator of the spheres, wellspring of love and fountainhead of mercy-- praise be his name throughout eternal years! Praise, praise the Savior, God the Son incarnate, sent to redeem a world by sin enslaved; he gave his life that we might know salvation-- through Christ we break sin's bondage and are saved. Praise, praise the Spirit, life of God within us, Christ's gift to all who trust his saving Word; he seals us sons, subdues our sinful natures, makes us grow in likeness to our Lord. Praise, praise the Godhead, three in one supernal, Maker, Redeemer, Power that makes u new; come, sing to him glad songs of adoration-- give to the Lord the praise that is his due! Coda: We praise the Father, the Son, the Spirit, who loved us, brought us, made us his own; and when we see him face to face in glory we'll sing his praise before his holy throne!
