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;

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.

The Song is amazing. It renews the life of GOD which Our LORD YESHUA (CHRIST JESUS) has dearly and painfully purchased for us. My SOUL IS ENTERLY GRATEFUL. HE (JEHOVAH) ALONE IS GOD AND NO GOD BESIDE HIM.

Such beautiful words!
This hymn has always remained with me since a child. There's something absolutely, completely & deeply embedded onto our hearts that totally allows us to really belt this hymn out in a loud & joyful voice, singing to our Lord with a loving heart & a belly full of praise to our most high & divine Lord. I've never known this hymn ever in my 50yrs of being a Christian, to be sung quietly behind a hymn book or order of service sheet? It's always sung loud with cheerful hearts, even by those in our congregations who usually mime the words, (We all have them...!) The Quiet Achievers I like to call them :D. Best way to start any service anywhere, not only under the Lords roof of a church, but anywhere where two, three or more are gathered in our Almighty Fathers name. I must admit, this is one of my all time favourite hymns. Praise be to the Father the Son & the Holy Spirit AMEN!
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.

This hymn underscores the fact whatever I have achieved in life, it's by my Saviour. May His name be glorified forever and forever.

I love the words in the chorus "oh come to the father through Jesus the son" is a reminder of the high price that Jesus paid for us on the cross and that when we pray this is how we should do so, take your prayers to Jesus and ask him to intercede for us for it is through Jesus we come to the Father.

"For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth." John 4:24
Hymns have so much truth content from the Scriptures. When it unites with His Spirit within, us it flows out with praise!
