To God Be the Glory
Divine Redemption: A Celebration of God's Great Acts
Lyrics
To God be the glory, great things He has done
To God be the glory, acknowledging and praising God for His greatness and deeds.
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
God's profound love for the world is expressed through the gift of His Son, Jesus.
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
Jesus willingly sacrificed His life to serve as an atonement for sin, reconciling humanity with God.
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Through Jesus' sacrifice, the gateway to eternal life is opened for all who choose to enter.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Praise the Lord for His greatness and deeds.
Let the earth hear His voice!
Encouraging the earth to listen to God's voice.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Reiteration of praising the Lord.
Let the people rejoice!
Calling people to rejoice in God's greatness.
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son
Invitation to come to the Father through faith in Jesus the Son.
And give Him the glory, great things He has done
Encouraging believers to give glory to God for His great deeds.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
Acknowledging the perfect redemption achieved through the shedding of blood.
To every believer the promise of God
Highlighting the promise of God available to every believer.
The vilest offender who truly believes
Assuring even the worst sinner that belief in Jesus brings instant pardon.
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Repeating the call to praise the Lord for His greatness.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Emphasizing the importance of letting the earth hear God's voice.
Let the earth hear His voice!

Reiterating the encouragement to give glory to God for His great deeds.
And give Him the glory, great things He has done
Repeating the acknowledgment of great things God has done.
Great things He has taught us, great things He has done
Reflecting on the great teachings and deeds of God.
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
Expressing joy and rejoicing through faith in Jesus the Son.
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Anticipating a future state of wonder, transport, and greater joy when in the presence of Jesus.
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see
Repeating the call to praise the Lord for His greatness.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Reiterating the importance of letting the earth hear God's voice.
Let the earth hear His voice!
