"To God only wise, be glory, through Jesus Christ for ever."

Imf WE give immortal praise

To God the Father's love,
For all our comforts here,
And better hopes above:

To die for sins that man had done.

Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with His blood
From everlasting woe:

And sees the fruit of all His pains.

Immortal worship give,

Whose new-creating power

And fills the soul with joy divine.

The undivided Three,

And the mysterious One: [powers, cres Where reason fails, with all her f There faith prevails, and love adores. Amen.
