To God Be the Glory

The tune was written by William H. Doane.
 
To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory – great things He has 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.

Refrain
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 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.
(Refrain)

Great things He has taught us; great things He has 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.
(Refrain).
