Hymn 3:38 [I Give Immortal Praise]

________________________________________________
Title:     Hymn 3:38 [I Give Immortal Praise]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

A song of praise to the blessed Trinity.

The 1st, as the 148th Psalm.

I give immortal praise
To God the Father's love
For all my comforts here,
And better hopes above;
He sent his own
Eternal Son,
To die for sins
That man had done.

To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,
Who bought us with his blood
From everlasting woe;
And now he lives,
And now he reigns,
And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.

To God the Spirit's Name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new-creating power
Makes the dead sinner live:
His work completes
The great design
And fills the soul
With joy divine.

Almighty God, to thee
Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious one:
Where reason fails
With all her powers,
There faith prevails,
And love adores.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 3:38 [I Give Immortal Praise]
