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 lifegate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord!

To every believer, the promise of God:
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Our wonder — our vict'ry — when Jesus we see!
