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.

Such beautiful words!
This hymn has always remained with me since a child. There's something absolutely, completely & deeply embedded onto our hearts that totally allows us to really belt this hymn out in a loud & joyful voice, singing to our Lord with a loving heart & a belly full of praise to our most high & divine Lord. I've never known this hymn ever in my 50yrs of being a Christian, to be sung quietly behind a hymn book or order of service sheet? It's always sung loud with cheerful hearts, even by those in our congregations who usually mime the words, (We all have them...!) The Quiet Achievers I like to call them :D. Best way to start any service anywhere, not only under the Lords roof of a church, but anywhere where two, three or more are gathered in our Almighty Fathers name. I must admit, this is one of my all time favourite hymns. Praise be to the Father the Son & the Holy Spirit AMEN!
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.

This hymn underscores the fact whatever I have achieved in life, it's by my Saviour. May His name be glorified forever and forever.

I love the words in the chorus "oh come to the father through Jesus the son" is a reminder of the high price that Jesus paid for us on the cross and that when we pray this is how we should do so, take your prayers to Jesus and ask him to intercede for us for it is through Jesus we come to the Father.

"For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth." John 4:24
Hymns have so much truth content from the Scriptures. When it unites with His Spirit within, us it flows out with praise!

I started listening to some hymns in the middle of the night and copied the lyrics to an app on my phone when I saw these comments from all my brothers and sisters worldwide, all of us singing the praises of the One who saved us. Indeed to God be all glory, great things he has and continues to do! May the Lord keep you, protect you and bless you until 'that day' when we will meet.
