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 our redemption to win,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life our redemption to win,
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;
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.
Let the earth hear His voice;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.

Oh, 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.
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath 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.
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

It is indeed a magnificent song; however, this version has taken editorial liberty and changed the first verse from "an atonement for sin" to "our redemption to win." It is our sin that put Jesus on the cross -- a specific point I believe the author wanted to make.

Blessed be our Triune God who through, our Person of the Holy Sprit , inspired these two Gospel Music/Hymns stalwarts that were, to work together in composing and playing/crooning this therapeutic song and melody.
I am referring to the highly esteemed pair of God, namely Fanny Jane Crosby (1820-1915) and William Howard Doane (1832-1915). Theirs is ethereal or heavenly indeed it is! Their descendants should be humbly pround that their ancestors in the Lord contributed towards helping Nations of the World, where this hymn and more are known and sung/played (instrumentally). We Salute them for the legacy they let generations after generations inherit and emulate them!

"The vilest sinner receives pardon the moment he believes" which other God can do that? This song is awesome and touching! Hallelujah!
