Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Written by Thomas Ken in 1674, for the students and faculty of Winchester College. These words were the final verse in two hymns, Awake, My Soul, and With the Sun was the morning hymn, and All Praise To Thee, My God, This Night was for evening worship.
A bit more modern, here’s Doxology with 1000 Amens!
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen.
– St. Augustine
“O Spirit, make my soul Thy temple, but make my heart Thy beloved home where Thou wouldst dwell with me in ease and everlasting understanding.”
– Paramahansa Yogananda
