To God Be the Glory !!
It was hard to discourage Fanny
Crosby; for though blind, her heart
can see splendidly in the sunshine
of God’s love. Written in 1872,
this hymn was taken to England
by Ira Sankey, who led singing for
Moody’s evangelistic campaigns.
The hymn became immediately
popular in England, but was
published in only a few American
hymnals until Billy Graham heard
the hymn during his I952 British
crusade. It then became popular
in America and around the world.
Lord, to You be praise and glory:
I will exalt You, my God and King,
and praise Your name forever…
Every day I will bless You, Great is
the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
No one can measure His greatness.
Let each generation praise Your
Works to another, and declare
Your mighty acts (Ps 145:1-4).
All of Your Works will thank You,
Lord, and Your faithful followers
will bless You… The Lord is faithful
in all He says; He is gracious in
all He does. The Lord helps the
fallen and lifts up those bent
beneath their loads (v10, 13-14).
Lord, thank You for revealing that
the way we praise You God forever,
the way we honor our pledge to give
Him glory for all the days of our life,
is simply to start doing it today.
So, we lift Your name on high.
not only in the things we say,
but also in the way that we live.
To God be the Glory! Great things
He hath done!! In Jesus’ name we
praise You, today & forever. Amen.
Lord, thank You for lifting our
burdens when we are bent
beneath our loads. We look to
You for help. Thank You for Your
faithfulness and for helping the
fallen. Lift us up by Your Spirit
we pray so that we can Praise
Your kindness and mercy like the
psalmist did for all that You’ve done.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
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.
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! Amen.
