Verse 1
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 life-gate that all may go in.
Chorus
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 hath done!
Verse 2
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. 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.
Verse 3
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. 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.
