Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
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.
Isaac Watts, “I Give Immortal Praise”
