105

John Newton (1725–1807) · Olney Hymns · Gloria Patri · 1779

I

Father of angels and of men,
Saviour, who hast us bought,
Spirit, by whom we’re born again,
And sanctified and taught!

II

Thy glory, holy Three in One,
Thy people’s song shall be,
Long as the wheels of time shall run,
And to eternity.
