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 our redemption to win, And opened the life-gate that all may go in. |
| Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice; Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory; great things He hath done. |

Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, To every believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. |

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 transport when Jesus we see. |
Third, we may classify the hymns by the sentiment expressed in the hymns. This is the deepest and most important matter in choosing a hymn. The sentiment of a hymn is the tender feeling of that hymn. The more tender a hymn is, the deeper is its sentiment. Two hymns may have the same subject and be under the same subdivision, but there may be a difference between them in sentiment. For example, Hymns, #39 and #52 are both hymns on the worship of the Father, but they have very different sentiments. Hymns, #39 is a good hymn that is full of excitement. Singing this hymn may make us want to shout. In contrast, Hymns, #52 is a very tender and fine hymn, perhaps the most tender and fine hymn in the section on the worship of the Father. If we study and pray over this hymn, we will sense how deep and tender its feeling is.

All Glory must be to the Lord! He is alone is worthy of our praise! No man on earth should give glory to himself all the Glory must be to the Lord. Thank you Lord for the past 301 days! Am also thankful for the remaining 64 days. My family and loved ones say THANK YOU AWESOME GOD.

Beloved friends in the Lord Jesus Christ, Our God is Unimaginably faithful, much more worthy of our trust and wholehearted love. Evidently, there is so much fulfillment and joy in serving, trusting and obeying Jesus Christ the worthy Lamb of God, whose most precious blood speaks unthinkable amazing blessings the whole of mankind. I had a personal encounter with God in my boyhood days. Since then I have lived a mysterious life of testimonies. The summit is the realization that Possessions, Position, & Power are vanities until used to save souls. Therefore, let us bear one another burden in appreciation of God ineffable love and abandon all our worries, anxieties, cares etc. to God with childlike confidence.

For sure to God be the glory, for the great things that He has done to our life. We should glorify God for that was His purpose also to create us.

My 6 year old was humming this on the way to school today-I asked him if he knew the words and he belts out in song Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! I sang with him what I could remember-Looking up the words on this site and seeing all the different posts from all over the world, how this song has reached so many is so humbling. Our God is truly moving in our mist! To God be the Glory!

This is a wonderful hymn that we should always sing to Praise our Wonderful Father. If we really listen to the lyrics and sing with our whole hearts not only are we singing but the earth and angels will be singing together with us. If we would Praise the Lord everyday the Lord Jesus will manifest Himself sooner. I Love Jesus Christ!!
