TO GOD BE THE GLORY by William H. Doane and Fanny J. Crosby — Lyrics

VERSE 1 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 and atonement for sin, and opened the lifegate that all may go in. REFRAIN 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, thro' Jesus the Son, and give him the glory, great things he hath done.

About TO GOD BE THE GLORY

"To God Be The Glory" is a classic hymn of praise and thanksgiving. It focuses on the magnitude of God's love, specifically the gift of His Son and the redemption offered to the world. The words move from the broad sweep of salvation to the personal promise of redemption for every believer.

In Nigerian parishes, this hymn is a staple for moments of grand thanksgiving, often sung as a recessional or during special harvest and anniversary celebrations. The soaring refrain naturally invites the entire congregation to lift their voices in joyful response alongside the choir.

Singing this piece brings a triumphant, majestic feel to the church. It perfectly suits a full choir singing in four-part harmony, leaving the congregation on a note of absolute victory and gratitude for the "great things he hath done."
