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 our redemption to win,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
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.
2 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.
3 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.
I sing this song every night as I fall asleep!
Been singing this hymn at church ........ May God be glorified forever...
Praise the Lord for such a powerful song , To. God be the glory ; Only God deserves our glory
Its always the opening hymn at every service or crusade all my life as I grew up as a Pentecostal. It is rare to find anyone who doesn't know it or sing it by heart where i come from. Its a flagship praise song and all ages love it. The Holy Spirit's Presence and Prophetic Power always enters and He participates when this song is being sung loudly. To have written these words.... The Great Fanny Crosby heard and saw The Holy Spirit.
Thank you so much for putting together the history behind the writing of the hymns. I truly enjoy it!❤
That's my favorite hymn what a beautiful story what a sweet blessing
😌. Thank you, Mr Luke Powell ; i am Glad i came across your CZcams channel…God bless you , for your Sharing these Wonderful Hymns.
Keep up the good work brother. To God be the glory
Luke - watching your hymn history after this song was the hymn for this date (Nov 30) in the Amazing Grace daily devotional by Kenneth W. Osbeck. We thoroughly enjoy your Friday Classic Hymn stories! Thank you! Scott & Deb, Minneapolis, MN USA; Thurs 11/30/2023, 6:25 am CST
I love, love, love the old hymns. They touch my heart unlike any other Christian music can. I've adored Fanny Crosby for years. She was so amazing! I just stumbled upon your channel and will no doubt, be watching them all. Thanks so much for these videos Luke!
I love old hymns.... Thank God that I had been singing old hymns since I was a child....
praise the LORD; let us all dedicate the remaining of our lives to glorify GOD in all HIS glories till HIS return again.Amen.Emmanuel.
Fanny Crosby wrote thousand of songs, what she does she used other persons name. This is one of her song we use in our Sabbath school service. I pray you continue with God’s Ministry God bless you
I love this hymn! You can’t help but feel joyful while hearing it ❤✝️❤
Thank you for sharing and teaching the history of this song. Just beautiful!! I'm sure you know this is in the scripture...
Romans 11:36 states, "For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen"
Thanks for posting. Surprised nobody comment on your observation "Jesus we see" and Fanny's physical blindness. I've thought of this with her other hymns as well. It adds more meaning to me :) I've also adapted words in her other writings that reflect my personal witness of Him. Our wonder our transport *rapture *worship
I think adjusting words or choice of the musical accompaniment is a great tribute to her and allows us to connect with the same Divine inspiration she worked with.
I love all these songs and I like to hear the story behind each song. It is marvelous to worship God and give Him the Glory. Luke one can see you love God dearly. Thank you for sharing your gift.
it reminds me of that vile offender who recognized our LORD on his cross n how our LORD pronounced his instant pardon redemption n eternal life the moment he saw our Glorious LORD in HIS true nature/splendor. Hallelujah. Amen.Emmanuel
I love finding old hymns I had never heard before. I found a new one last week called Is My Name Written There? Such amazing words! How have I never heard of this before?
I first heard this beautiful hymn in early 1976. After becoming saved in Dec 1975. It's one of my top favorites. Praise God for the atonement for my sins. ✝️💕🎶🎶🎶
Between Rockford ILLINOIS and Freeport ILLINOIS on highway 20 heading west there's a barn that has To God be the Glory on the roof written with shingles a long time ago and the roof stood the test of time and just got redone keeping the message. It blesses me every time I see it and reminds me of this great hymn.
My name is Belinda, I know what happens when you forgive someone who has hurt you. My heart nearly exploded because the forgiveness that you give the person who has hurt you is pounding, and you also want to thank GOD for the release of the pain.
I’m struggling with this right now!
This is another of those GREAT SONGS that was sung at "the Big Sing" in London several years ago and I remember how it was sung with such enthusiasm that it truly touche my heart.
Yes, we must praise the Lord Daily. Each new day is the reason to praise Him.
Thank you very much for these Friday classics. I live in Germany and belong to a baptist church. Here, too, we sang many of these great hymn, but nowadays just only once in a while. So, when our church got new rooms, we started a Wednesday café, with has always a little devotion with also traditional hymns. Our elder folks loves it and it is a big joy and blessing for all who attend or serve.
To tell the story behind the hymn has become a way to go deeper into the text. To me sometimes it seems the harder the life of the songwriter was the more that person loved and praised god. Great examples for our own live and so bolstering.
Praise the Lord!
Oh thank you love the hymns
Thanks!
Thank you very much for this!
We still sing this song in our language in our church, it's one of the most popular hymn in our hymn book.
The Presbyterian Church in Mizoram, India.
My parents sung this with me and my brothers all the time at home growing up. I sing it with my kids now and they love it. I think if they’re going to have a song stuck in their heads, this one is great because it communicates the Gospel simply and effectively.
This is my favorite hymn.
Good evening Luke, so ejoying these Friday classics. This is a wonderful old hymn, such powerful words to a great tune, easy to sing and digest this deep words. Thank you Luke. God bless you.
listens to "To God Be the Glory," one can feel a profound sense of peace and hope. The song transcends individual beliefs, touching hearts universally with its message of divine goodness and mercy. It serves as a comforting companion in times of difficulty and a joyful celebration in times of triumph.
I love this hymn! I remember singing this at First Baptist Richardson, Tx as a child.
I remember standing and singing these powerful and memorable words as a child in our little church. They so adequately express God's grace I received those many years ago! Thank you Luke for keeping these precious old hymns alive along with the stories behind them. ❤🎶✝️
...our little church was in Oakdale CA.
A friend sent me the link to your channel with this song being discussed. I am so happy! I do so miss the beautiful hymns we used to sing in church. So few of today's contemporary songs actually focus you on the Lord and are almost narcissistic.
So I will subscribe if you do this regularly. Thank you!
The hymns are so precious!
I do a Friday Classic each week, you can find the others here: czcams.com/play/PLOzc9nsPonlijc77DVnISvCs4ul_4peW3.html
Amen! The title speaks countless words of praise and worship. The Lord's Prayer Jesus gave His disciples is a good example. "For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the Glory . Forever! Amen! You're in the Spirit dear brother Luke. Blessings have been showered upon you. God loves us who love His Son and obey His commands which are not unduly difficult. One is to share the Gospel~! Let me share what I discerned from my studies all these years. I am a King James man. It's been a pleasure visiting you here. We will keep you in our daily prayers, beloved.
Maranatha! John 14:3; Titus 2:11-15.
To know and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! That is our greatest blessing in life. Wonderful Praise here for God the Son. John 1:1, 3-4; 14,18*; Mt.16:13-20.
THE ANGELS GIVE GLORY TO GOD IN HEAVEN! HERE WE HEAR AND SEE EARTH "ANGELS" DOING IT TOO! RIGHT HERE! JUST LIKE YOU!
WE LOVE YOU, LORD! YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE! WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY! YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. YOU KEEP YOUR WORD IN THE BIBLE. Subscribed
GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples; Mark 14:22-25, the night before He went to the cross.
Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood) , the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118.
THE GOOD NEWS
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.6 .
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. 1 John 1:8-10; 2:1-2
THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
"And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22
Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." ( life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
* * * God knew your musical praise ministry before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. Prayer goes out for you and those here. A Crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. ( see"JESUS SAVES") 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".
This praise resounds throughout the earth: "Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves". He testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 10:30 (*see also 31-42).
2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name."
JESUS SAVES
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
Isaiah 7: 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died (John 19:30; Luke 23:46 ) and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew 28: 6.
Isaiah 53:" 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."
Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above.
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8.
My favorite hymn is: "Out of my bondage, sorrow and night"
It's also called: "Jesus I come"
The melody, for me is too corny. So I asked the Lord to give me a new melody for this and I love what He gave me.
The words will resonate with all the redeemed!!!
That I'd my favorite hymn thank u
Personally I love hymns and I used to listen to contemporary christian music but I've found that my ears and my soul respond better to hymns so that's my preference. Everyone needs to choose music that appeals to their ears and soul.
Thanks Luke what a wonderful hymn
Please tell the history of
Down From His Glory
I love finding old hymns I had never heard before. I found a new one last week called Is My Name Written There? Such amazing words! How have I never heard of this before?
