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.
I had this at my wedding and I often sing it in the car on my way to work. Without a doubt one of the most rousing hymns ever written and far superior to any of the modern efforts at hymn writing.

I am short of WORDS for this wonderful hymn for OUR GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY who reign forever. Each morning I sing this hymn between 5.30 - 6.30am, I always felt a burden coming out of my life. It's a hymn for the broken heart and those who love singing praises to the GREAT I AM THAT I AM. May God richly blessed the song writer for his/her initiative for this hymn.

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.

We should praise our wonderful and loving GOD. He is faithful and gracious. Praise the LORD!
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.
