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 all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear his voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father, through 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 a pardon receive. [Refrain]
3 Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see. [Refrain] Topics: Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Opening Hymn; Redemption and Salvation; Year A Lent 2; Year B Lent 4; Year B Trinity Sunday Scripture: John 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: TO GOD BE THE GLORY
