The Longing

To 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 life gate that all may go in
And to God be the glory
To God be all praise
We live for Your glory
All of our days
To God be all glory and praise
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
And to God be the glory
To God be all praise
We live for Your glory
All of our days
To God be all glory and praise
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
And to God be the glory
To God be all praise
We live for Your glory
All of our days
To God be all glory and praise
