TO GOD BE THE GLORY
"To God* be the glory" indeed
For granting gift of wondrous worth
Eternal life by Gospel seed
Assuring bliss of heaven’s mirth.
I say, “It is well with my soul"
To God be the glory indeed
For achievement of divine goal
Reaching-out to meet other’s need.
Propelled by the Lord Who does lead
"I’m pressing on the upward way"
To God be the glory indeed
Inspiring my faith every day.
"Victory in Jesus" --- that’s right!
Such is true to me beyond creed.
Privileged to carry His light
To God be the glory indeed.
*Jude 1:25 KJV To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
