  			G                       D              G 
To God be the glory, great things He hath done, 
   C            G             A           D 
So lov'd He the world that He gave us His Son, 
    G                     D           G 
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, 
    C          G              D          G 
And opened the Life Gate that all may go in. 

  G 
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 
  G                      D 
  Let the earth hear His voice; 
  D 
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 
                   G 
  Let the people rejoice; 
      G 
  Oh, come to the Father, 
          D         G 
  Through Jesus the Son, 
      C            G 
  And give Him the glory; 
        D              G 
  Great things He hath done. 

Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, 
To ev'ry believer the promise of God; 
The vilest offender who truly believes, 
That moment from Jesus a pardon receieves. 
(Chorus) 

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. 
(Chorus)
