And to Christ the Son,
Glory to the Holy Spirit—
Ever One.
Planned with wondrous skill,
So our hearts would move to worship,
And be still.
To have sons who love
In the Son e'en now to praise Thee,
Love to prove!
To present to men
Secrets of Thine own affections,
Theirs to win.
(Vanquished evil powers!)
Thou hast brought, in new creation,
Worshippers!
And to Christ the Son,
Glory to the Holy Spirit—
Ever One.

What a glorious hymn, conceived in holy communion within the heart of Father God, especially v. 4. I recommend you take communion with Him personally, daily and enjoy His love for you as you receive revelation from Him of your inestimable value before Him. We are God's kind, therefore the Sacrifice had to had to be Himself. We'll need all eternity, and we have it, to fathom the significance of our value to Him! Thank you Father God.

As we view the vast creation - three levels of the universe (Phil. 2:10)
Phi 2:10 - That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Phi 2:11 - And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
Our confessing that Jesus is Lord results in the glory of God the Father.

The writer of this hymn was JF Garland.
It was set to music by Ira David Sankey (1804-1908). Sankey was born in Endingburg Pennsylvania of Methodist parents. In 1856 they moved to Newcastle. He later became the superintendent of a large Sunday school where he began writing sacred songs. D. L. Moody heard him at a young men’s convention and asked Ira to join him In Chicago. They sailed to England on June 7, 1872. His special duty was The singing of sacred songs and solos.
His volume of sacred songs is compilation of various sources- mainly American- known as “ Sankey and Moody Songs”, although Sankey sang them all. The volume has been sold everywhere and translated into many languages.
