Sunday Hymn: To God Be the Glory

by Rosemary ~ September 16th, 2007

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 through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

~Fanny Crosby, 1875

    …”who yielded His life….” powerful words and convicting too. Christ yielded to the Father. WOW! How I long to be more like that. To yield and put aside my rights…oh, how I cling to those rights of mine.
