I was thinking of the last line in verse one. Jesus opened the life gate that all may come in. When Adam fell the way to the tree of life was shut. Man could not take God’s life which was His deepest desire. Now Christ has redeemed us and brought us to the place we can partake of His life! The much more eternal life of God. Now through Christ’s blood (the vail) we can enter into the holy of hollies ( the very presents of God). It is not only the Jewish people but now the life gate, by faith in Christ, is open to all men! That is truly good news.
“Hence we can sing the chorus. Glory to God. Great things He has done! Even this seems inadequate praise. ”.
This hymn, “To God be the Glory” was written by Fanny Crosby (1820-1915). It was published in the 1875 collection, “Brightest and Best. ” also included in the collection were: “All the Way My Savior Leads Me” “I am Thine, O Lord, ” “Savior, More Than Life to Me, ” and
“Christ Arose. ” However, “To God be the Glory” gained popularity among Christian worshipers much later after it was written. Ira Sankey sang it in the Dwight L. Moody, evangelistic campaigns, and he included it in his “Sacred Songs and Solos, “ which was published in England, and is still in use today. But after that, it faded from public use until Cliff Barrows was given a copy in 1954 and began to popularize it during the Billy Graham crusades in London. Barrows was impressed with its song message of praise and included it in the songbook being prepared for the services and used it in the crusade. The crowds responded so enthusiastically that he sang it nearly every night. Later Graham and Barrows introduced the song in the U. S. for the first time at their Nashville crusade. The crowd again responded well, so the song was adopted as one of the standards for future campaigns. Because of the influence of Billy Graham, the compilers of hymnals began including it in the new publications, and thus it became widely popular. Students of Fanny Crosby‘s hymns point out that this song differs from many of her other hymns because it is not so much a personal testimony, as many of her others hymns are, but rather contains more of a theological message to it. Dr. Carl Daw noted that “this is a remarkably objective celebration of God’s saving work in Jesus Christ. ”
Third, we may classify the hymns by the sentiment expressed in the hymns. This is the deepest and most important matter in choosing a hymn. The sentiment of a hymn is the tender feeling of that hymn. The more tender a hymn is, the deeper is its sentiment. Two hymns may have the same subject and be under the same subdivision, but there may be a difference between them in sentiment. For example, Hymns, #39 and #52 are both hymns on the worship of the Father, but they have very different sentiments. Hymns, #39 is a good hymn that is full of excitement. Singing this hymn may make us want to shout. In contrast, Hymns, #52 is a very tender and fine hymn, perhaps the most tender and fine hymn in the section on the worship of the Father. If we study and pray over this hymn, we will sense how deep and tender its feeling is.
