A Dying Saint
Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.


This doxology of the angels has sometimes filled the thoughts of dying saints. The final words of the Rev. Edward Perronet, author of the hymn, "All hail the power of Jesus' name," were, "Glory to God in the height of His Divinity! Glory to God in the depth of His humanity! Glory to God in His all-sufficiency! and into His hand I commend my spirit." The last words, too, of Rev. Doctor Backus, first President of Hamilton College, were, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."
