The hymn for this weekend is, “To God Be the Glory,” which, although written in the 19th Century, fell into disuse until 1954, when Cliff Barrows revived it for the Billy Graham London Crusade. It was so popular in London that he used it back in the U.S.A. in the Nashville Crusade, after which it found a place in the hearts of American Christians, and now is found in most church hymnals.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
Lyrics by Fanny Crosby, Tune by William Howard Doane
1872
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.

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.

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
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.
