1Glory, honor, praise, and power
Unto God this very hour,
For the work of grace begun
Through his well-beloved Son.
2While our prayers and praises rise,
Lord, as incense to the skies,
May thy Spirit's quickening fire,
Every heart and soul inspire.
3Praised be thy love to man,
For redemption's wondrous plan,
For the life that thou didst give,
Lord, that we, thy foes, might live!
4Daily gifts of love unfold;
Thine is more than earthly gold;
O for hearts to praise thee more!
