199. To God Be The Glory

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,
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him The glory, great things He hath 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.
