DOXOLOGY

Doxology

Snippet

Doxolory passed into English from Medieval Latin doxologia, which in turn comes from the Greek term doxa, meaning "opinion" or "glory," and the suffix -logia, which refers to oral or written expression. It's logical enough, therefore, that "doxology" has referred to an oral expression of praise and glorification since it first appeared in English around 1645. The word ultimately derives from the Greek verb dokein, meaning "to seem" or "to seem good." Two cousins of "doxology" via "dokein" are "dogma" and "paradox." More distant relatives include "decent" and "synecdoche." The Gloria in Excelsis and the Gloria Patri are two of the best-known and most often sung doxologies in contemporary Christianity.  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/doxology

Scripture

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Eph 1:3 NLT

Song
Doxology Stars Go Dim

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above the heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Praise God the uncreated one
Who sent his son to die for us
Defeating death he took our sins
Our praise for him will never end
Hallelujah...

Praise God the Father, Spirit, Son
Praise God and let his kingdom reign
On Earth just like in heaven
His spirit with us three in one
Praise God the Father, Spirit, Son
Hallelujah...

Praise God the Father, Spirit, Son
Hallelujah...

Praise God the Father, Spirit, Son

Sentence Prayer

Awake, my Soul, and with the Sun,
Thy daily Stage of duty run,
Shake off dull Sloath, and joyful rise,
To pay thy Morning Sacrifice.

All Praise to Thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refresh’d me whilst I slept,
Grant, Lord, when I from Death shall wake,
I may of endless Light partake.

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. Thomas Ken
