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.
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.
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.
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.
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

Thanks be to God for this hymnal - my songs of praise book misses out so many deeply devotional hymns such as this - for raising the bar of today's insipid offerings. God bless all involved in this ministry to His glory. Thank you.

I have woken up with the hymn's chorus in my head for the last week and needed to read the whole hymn. A great reminder of what God has done for us.

Ending 2020, Lord we praise You, the only wise God! In Your wisdom, arranging everything behind the scenes this past year to direct us to Your Beloved Son who is Your delight. This Son yielded His life, our redemption to win. Even the vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Your light shines on who we are, but You do not stop there. You cause us to see You! Our wonderful, perfect, beloved, Jesus! Then purer, and higher, and greater is our wonder of You. Praise You Lord for all of Your shepherding this past year. We ask You to have mercy on us, to continue to shepherd us in 2021, into deeper fellowship of Your Son with all of the saints that we would be ready for Your appearing. Amen.

Thank you for having these lyrics posted!
These are dark days, and I find myself often praying that God might take away my fears and cobcerns, so that I might wholly lean on Him.
I awoke this morning with the tune, and fragments of this songs lyrics in my head;
I believe the the Lord put it on my heart to focus on this song this morning.
A song that I haven't heard in church since probably years before the hymnals got put away... Thank you.
