Glory to God, and Praise and Love

Add to Starred Hymns

Representative Text

1. Glory to God, and praise, and love
Be ever, ever giv’n;
By saints below, and saints above,
The Church in Earth and Heav’n.

2. On this glad day, the glorious Sun
Of Righteousness arose;
On my benightened soul he shone
And filled it with repose.

3. Sudden expired the legal strife;
’Twas then I ceased to grieve;
My second, real, living life
I then began to live.

4. Then with my heart I first believed,
Believed, with faith divine,
Power with the Holy Ghost received
To call the Savior mine.

5. I felt my Lord’s atoning blood
Close to my soul applied;
Me, me he loved—the Son of God,
For me, for me he died!

6. I found and owned his promise true,
Ascertained of my part,
My pardon passed in Heav’en I knew
When written on my heart.

7. Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise!
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace.

8. My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thru' all the Earth abroad
The honors of thy name.

9. Jesus the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life and health and peace!

10. He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
