To God Be the Glory

"Billy Graham His Life and Influence" is a book that centers the history of Christian Evangelicalism since 1949. The book provides a panoramic view point of Christianity today. As Billy Graham came to England in 1954, a crowd of great strength gathered at the train station. Billy descended from the train. As he descended the English Christians opened their hearts in tune to God Be the Glory:



o God be the glory, great things he hath done!

    So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,

    who yielded his life an atonement for sin,

    and opened the lifegate that all may go in.



Refrain:

    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

    let the earth hear his voice!

    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

    let the people rejoice!

    O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,

    and give him the glory, great things he hath done!



2.    O 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.

    (Refrain)



3.    Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,

    and great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;

    but purer, and higher, and greater will be

    our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

    (Refrain)
