Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
The Doxology as we know it was written by Thomas Ken in 1674. Ken was an Anglican bishop and one of the most prominent hymn writers of his time. The Doxology is actually the final verse of two longer hymns he wrote for students at Winchester College in England. These hymns were intended for morning and evening worship, and the Doxology served as a concluding stanza for both.
