Everlasting glory be,
 
God and Father, unto Thee!
 
’Tis with joy Thy children raise
 
Hearts and voices in Thy praise.
“To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” (Jude 25)
“Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:12)
“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:11)
2
Thou the light that showed our sin,
 
Showed how guilty we had been:
 
Thine the love that us to save
 
Thine own Son for sinners gave.
“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” (Ephesians 5:13)
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” (John 3:19-20)
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Called to share the rest of God
 
In the Father’s blest abode,
 
God of love, and God of light,
 
In Thy praises we unite.
4
Gladly we Thy grace proclaim,
 
Knowing now the Father’s name:
 
God and Father, unto Thee
 
Everlasting glory be!
