Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #142 (1929) Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain First Line: To God be the glory, great things He hath done Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear his voice Lyrics: 1. To God be the glory, — great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the Life-gate that we may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Chorus:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, thro' Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, — great things He hath done.
2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To ev'ry believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus forgiveness receives.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice! [Refrain]
3. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing thro' Jesus the Son;
Bur purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. [Refrain]
