To God Be The Glory
Celebrate Redemption: The Magnificent Tale in 'To God Be The Glory'
Lyrics
To God be the glory, great things He hath done
To acknowledge and give credit to God for the wonderful things He has accomplished
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
God expressed His love for the world by sacrificing His Son
Who yielded His life, an atonement for sin
Jesus willingly sacrificed His life to atone for sins
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Through Jesus, the gateway to eternal life is opened for everyone
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Expressing joy and admiration for the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Calling on the world to listen to God's message
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Continuing to praise and acknowledge the Lord
Let the people rejoice
Encouraging people to rejoice in God's greatness
Oh come to the Father through Jesus the Son
Inviting people to approach God, the Father, through faith in Jesus, the Son
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done
Encouraging giving glory to God for His remarkable deeds
Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
Describing redemption as perfect and obtained through Christ's blood
To every believer, the promise of God
Highlighting the promise of God for every believer
The vilest offender who truly believes
Assuring that even the worst sinner, when believing, receives forgiveness from Jesus
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Emphasizing the instantaneous nature of receiving pardon through faith
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Continuing expressions of praise for the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Reiterating the call for the world to listen to God's voice
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Persisting in praising and rejoicing in the Lord
Let the people rejoice
Encouraging people to rejoice in God's greatness
Oh come to the Father through Jesus the Son
Repeating the invitation to approach the Father through Jesus and give Him glory
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done
Reiterating the call to give glory to God for His great deeds
Great things He hath taught us
Reflecting on the great teachings God has provided
Great things He hath done
Acknowledging the marvelous things God has accomplished
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
Expressing joy through faith in Jesus, the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Anticipating a future of even purer and higher worship when seeing Jesus
Our wonder, our worship, when Jesus we see
Describing the future wonder and worship in the presence of Jesus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Continuing expressions of praise for the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Reiterating the call for the world to listen to God's voice
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Persisting in praising and rejoicing in the Lord

Encouraging people to rejoice in God's greatness
Oh come to the Father through Jesus the Son
Repeating the invitation to approach the Father through Jesus and give Him glory
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done
Reiterating the call to give glory to God for His great deeds
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
