To God Be the Glory
Backgrounder: 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
rediscovered the hymn during
his I952 British crusade. It then
became as popular in America
as it had been in England,
and then around the world.
Lord, to You be praise and glory:
I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever
and ever. Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name
forever and ever. 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 (Psa 145:1-4).
Mighty God and loving Father,
today I want to tell you how
marvelous & wonderful you are.
You are faithful, holy & merciful.
You are tender, loving, and
yet magnificent in glory and
incomparable in strength.
You have redeemed me from
my sin & given me hope beyond
my own death. You have filled
my life full of good people & have
promised me a home with you.
Father God, are without peer:
You are awesome and majestic.
And Lord, thank U for revealing
thro v2 that the way we praise
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.
As long as we praise God today,
the forever takes care of itself.
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 and forever. 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!
O perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood!
To ev’ry believer
the promise of God;
The vilest offender
who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus
a pardon receives
