To God be the Glory  (play)


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, 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 rejoice!

Oh come to the Father thro' Jesus the Son

And give Him the Glory!, 

Great things he has done


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


Great things He hath taught us,

Great things he hath done

And great our rejoicing, thro' Jesus the Son

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
