Sunday's Hymn
Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 1:41PM The singing this morning at my church was led by the youth choir. Here’s one of the hymns we sang.
To God be the glory, great things He has 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 has done.O 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.Great things He has taught us, great things He has 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.—-Fanny Crosby
When you search for “To God Be the Glory” on YouTube, you get mostly versions of this song, which by way, was sung at my wedding thirty-three years ago today. Here’s one of the few featuring the original To God Be the Glory.

What a wonderful hymn, Rebecca! Thanks for posting it.
I sang that song so often in my younger years, but haven't thought of it for a long time. Thanks for the reminder!
May the memories of your wedding day be sweet, and may you have full assurance that God does all things well and is glorified in them.
Great hymn, Rebecca. It was also sung at my wedding, just right after we took our vows:)
