To God be the Glory! by William H. Doane — Lyrics
About To God be the Glory!
"To God be the Glory!" is a resounding hymn of thanksgiving that calls the entire congregation to recognize the magnitude of God's love. The verses walk us through the story of salvation, beginning with the gift of His Son and the perfect redemption offered to every believer. It is a piece that naturally lifts the spirit, building from a reflection on Christ's atonement into a triumphant, full-voiced refrain.
In the choir loft, this hymn is a favorite for moments of grand celebration, often serving as a powerful Entrance or Recessional song during Sunday Mass or special feast days. The familiar, driving melody encourages everyone in the pews to join in, especially when the refrain commands the earth to hear His voice and the people to rejoice. It leaves the church echoing with a shared, joyful declaration of faith and gratitude for the great things He has done.
