To God be the glory! great things He has done!

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.

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.

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 rapture, when Jesus we see!

Frences Jane Van Alstyne, 1820-1915
