To God Be The Glory
Verse 1
To God be the glory,
great things he hath done,
so loved He the world
that He gave us His SonWho yielded his life
an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate
that all may go in.Chorus
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the earth hear His voice.Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the people rejoiceO come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
and give Him the glory
great things He hath doneVerse 2
O 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.Chorus
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the earth hear His voice.Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the people rejoiceO come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
and give Him the glory
great things He hath doneVerse 3
Great things He hath taught us
Great things He hath done
great our rejoicing
through Jesus the sonBut purer and higher
and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport
when Jesus we see.Chorus
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the earth hear His voice.Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the people rejoiceO come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
and give Him the glory
great things He hath done
