TO GOD BE THE GLORY. by Frances Jane van Alstyne — 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 an atonement for sin, And opened the Life gate 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, through 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 one of those foundational hymns of praise that instantly lifts the spirit of a congregation. With its bright, marching rhythm and triumphant words, it is a staple for thanksgiving services, grand celebrations, and joyful recessionals. When the choir launches into the opening line, it feels less like a performance and more like a collective shout of gratitude for the "great things He hath done."

The verses walk us through the core of the Christian message—the gift of the Son, the promise of redemption, and the anticipation of seeing Christ face to face. But it is the refrain that truly brings the church alive. "Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice!" invites everyone in the pews to join the chorus. It is a song that demands full voices and open hearts, reminding us that all our rejoicing ultimately points back to the Father.
