    G  D7      G             D             G
To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
    C            G             A7          D
So lov'd He the world that He gave us His Son,
 D7  G   D7      G        D            G
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
 G7 C          G/D             D         G
And opened the Life Gate that all may go in.

chorus:
    G
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
           G               D
  Let the earth hear His voice;
    D         D7
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
             D       G
  Let the people rejoice;
  D7   G   D7        G
  Oh, come to the Father,
           D         G
  Through Jesus the Son,
   G7  C            G/D
  And give Him the glory;
          D        D7   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)
