Glory to God, and Praise and Love

Verse 1

Glory to God,
and praise and love
be ever, ever given,
by saints below and saints above,
the church in earth and heaven.

Verse 2

On this glad day
the glorious Sun
of Righteousness arose;
on my benighted
soul he shone
and filled it with repose.

Verse 3

Sudden expired the
legal strife,
’twas then I ceased to grieve;
my second, real,
living life
I then began to live.

Verse 4

Then with my heart
I first believed,
believed with faith divine,
power with the
Holy Ghost received,
to call the Savior mine.

Verse 5

I felt my Lord’s
atoning blood
close to my soul applied;
me, me he loved,
the Son of God,
for me, for me he died!

Verse 6

I found and owned
his promise true,
ascertained of my part,
my pardon passed
in heaven I knew
when written on my heart.

Verse 7

O for a thousand
tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer’s praise!
The glories of
my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.

Verse 8

My gracious Master
and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all
the earth abroad
the honors of thy name.

Verse 9

Jesus! the name
that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
’tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’tis life, and health, and peace!

Verse 10

He breaks the power
of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can
make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.

Verse 11

He speaks,
and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken
hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

Verse 12

Hear him, ye deaf,
his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold
your Savior come,
and leap, ye lame, for joy.

Verse 13

Look unto him,
ye nations, own
your God, ye fallen race!
Look, and be saved
through faith alone,
be justified by grace!

Verse 14

See all your sins
on Jesus laid;
the Lamb of God was slain,
his soul was once
an offering made
for every soul of man.

Verse 15

Harlots and publicans
and thieves,
in holy triumph join!
Saved is the sinner
that believes
from crimes as great as mine.

Verse 16

Murderers and all
ye hellish crew,
ye sons of lust and pride,
believe the Savior
died for you;
for me the Savior died.

Verse 17

With me, your chief,
you then shall know,
shall feel your sins forgiven;
anticipate your
heaven below
and own that love is heaven.
