To God be the glory, great things He hath done

1
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.
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.

mmmmh thanks.

My GrandPa gave me a sheet to type for him, when I finished the first paragraph I realized it was the lyrics of this song.

And I said to myself mmmh why should I type all of this when I can download it and print it for him.

When I got here I loved it so much listening to the guitar.

Thanks.

I went home to visit family in Jamaica, and went to church, and they sang this song, it brought back so many memories. I thank God for downloading it into me right now.

Heard this first when I was a server many years ago, we use to take the blessed sacrament round the streets in Sheffield, happy times.

It still makes me so happy when I hear it, so much has changed in England its a pity one can't go back, also when one loses both parents life changes.

This hymn reminds me on two crucial plans that God had from the genesis of our earth: creation and redemption. It highlights the reason to why humanity need to praise the LORD:

1. He created us in His own image and likeness

2. He provide our daily needs and His provision satisfy our own desires

3. He send His only Son to die on our behalf: redemption that was planned from the beginning (Genesis 3:15)

The song really inspire my soul to praise the Lord persistently.

Ever refreshing.

I pray verse 2 for my neighbor, who at 77 years of age is looking at 5 years probation for defending an 81 year old woman more vigorously than the law allows.

In his view, he is spending his last years fearing that he will fail to comply completely with all the numerous restrictions -- some of which he has not understood very well, I fear.

He needs to know God's love and mercy and healing of his current depression, and for the enlightenment of the eyes of his heart to see the grace and beauty around him.

Danke lieber HERR Jesus! Jedes mal wenn ich dieses Lied höre und mitsinge, werde ich an seine große Liebe und Gnade von meinem HERR erinnern. Und Ich bekomme auch wieder mal die Kraft, von vorne anzufangen. Amen! Halleluja!

At my finger tips I got this song, many people have made a pact with God to sacrifice all their ideals to humanity at no cost, I got this and my curiosity is eased, now the person who have done this is blessed the more because he has provided this that I wanted at a time like this, he is a messenger of God, thank you.

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.
