16622. Give To God The Glory

1 Once I was a wan­d’rer, lost and full of sin;
Now I know how Christ a soul can win!
Come, oh come to Je­sus, seek His grace to­day;
None that seek Him will He turn away.

Refrain:
"Glory in the high­est!" an­gels sing.
"Praise Him! Praise Him!" ech­oes ring.
Give to God the glo­ry for His Son, our Lord!
Shout aloud His praise with full ac­cord;
Shout aloud, "Ho­san­na! praise the Lord!"

2 Give, oh give to Jesus prais­es, while we sing;
Onward send the tid­ings, Christ is King!
See the world awak­ing, prais­ing God ab­ove—
God who sends sal­va­tion, rich in love. [Refrain]

3 We will tell the sto­ry, of­f’ring life to all,
All who take the coss and hear His call;
Thus we’ll pray and la­bor for the lost by sin,
Till the wan­d’rers all are g­thered in. [Refrain]

4 Come and join the ar­my, bat­tle for the right;
Life is pass­ing—on­ward! work with might!
Work! the time is pre­cious, la­bor­ers are few,
And the Lord and Mast­er call­eth you. [Refrain]
