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.
Only the Living God deserves the honor and glory for the great things He has done. Hallelujah!

I remember this hymn from my teenage years. It seems the Spirit really welled up in the church as we sang it. It is such a welcoming hymn. Oh come to the Father through Jesus the Son. No need to do anything. Jesus did it all. To God be the glory great things He has done! To every believer the promise of God! How wonderful is that! Because of Him, we come boldly to the throne of grace.

I received a lovely complement from my daughter via text message and the chorus to this hymn came to mind so I had to look it up and learn ALL the words. A great hymn, wish we would sing it in my little Lutheran Church here in Apple Valley, MN

I was spending quite time with God and found myself mediating on the words “to God Be the Glory” after some time passed I started to sing the song, but only knew the chorus. I googled the lyrics and sang it all, hence I saw all these wonderful comments. So here I am. May God Bless you and keep you until you meet him face to face. To God Be the Glory!
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.
