The Universal Song.

Praise to thee, thou great Creator!

Praise to thee from ev'ry tongue;

Join, my soul, with ev'ry creature,

Join the universal song.

CHO.--Glory to the Father and the Son,

Glory to the Spirit! three in one!

Let us praise him, let us praise him, let us praise him to-day,

And sing his loving kindness on our way.

2 Father! source of all compassion!

Pure, unbounded grace is thine;

Hail the Lord of our salvation!

Praise him for his love divine.

3 For ten thousand blessings given,

For the hope of future joy,

Sound his praise thro' earth and heaven,

Sound Jehovah's praise on high.

4 Praise to God, our great Creator!

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;

Praise him, ev'ry living creature,

Earth and heav'n's united host.

J. W. Fawcett, 1767.
