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.

This chorus of the hymn, came into my spirit, I couldn't find my glasses to read, because I forgot where I place it, and I said in my heart, Lord help me find my glasses I need them to see, what I was looking for, and the Lord did, I found my glasses, and this chorus of the hymn came into my spirit as I found the glasses, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let people rejoice, O come to the Father, through Jesus His Son, and give Him the glory great things He has done. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

This song has lifted my spirit out of depression and has filled me with joy!

I sang this song hundreds of times as a child and haven’t sung it in 30 years.

This song speaks of God’s love for us no matter what we've done or what we're going through, thank You Father God!

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.
