Glory, and praise, and love to Thee

Verse 1
Glory, and praise, and love to thee,
For this effectual door,
Jesu! Who publishest by me
The gospel to the poor.

Verse 2
Glory to thy great name alone,
That life and power imparts:
Now, Lord, thy genuine gospel own,
And graft it on their hearts.

Verse 3
Now let them feel the tidings true,
Grant to thy word success;
Water it with thy heavenly dew,
And give the wish’d increase.

Verse 4
Savour of life O let it prove,
And shew their sins forgiven;
Work in them faith, which works by love,
And surely leads to heaven.
