Let God the Father Live

Verse 1

Let God the Father live
For ever on our tongues;
Sinners from his first love derive
The ground of all their songs.

Verse 2

Ye saints, employ your breath
In honour to the Son,
Who bought your souls from hell and death
By offering up his own.

Verse 3

Give to the Spirit praise
Of an immortal strain,
Whose light and power and grace conveys
Salvation down to men.

Verse 4

While God the Comforter
Reveals our pardon’d sin,
O may the blood and water bear
The same record within.

Verse 5

To the great One and Three
That seal this grace in heaven,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, be
Eternal glory given.
