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.
2
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.
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.
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 transport when Jesus we see.
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, what a hymn, oh what a enjoyment. Thank You Father, love You and praise You!
Great is our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
pure, and high and great when we see Jesus.
Praise the Lord!
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. Amen !

Beautiful song! I am awake at midnight and this song came to my mind and I had to look up the words. I love older songs that touch your heart, they are truly inspired by the Holy Spirit and not by man!

Our God is a great God. All other Gods are the works of men. So to Him alone be all the glory and adoration.

I LOVE the lyrics to this song. Mind you, there is a slight difference in the first verse, to what I'm familiar with.
"....Who yielded His life, an atonement for sin...." Same idea, though, so it's all good! The point is, ALL may go in. "The Vilest offender, who truly believes..."

I found myself humming this song and had to look for it. God has done great things in my life and that of my family. Praise be to Jesus Christ, Praise be to God the Highest. God bless my country, Kenya.
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.
