From mountain top and dewy vale,
From temples old and hoary,
Proclaim redemption’s wondrous tale,
And give to Jesus glory.
Refrain
Give to Jesus glory, give to Jesus glory,
Proclaim redemption’s wondrous tale,
And give to Jesus glory.
From break of day to starry night,
Ring out salvation’s story;
And when returns the morning light,
Still give to Jesus glory.
Refrain
High in the Heav’n of heav’ns above,
Where angel hosts adore Thee,
We’ll sing the Father’s matchless love,
And give to Jesus glory.
Refrain
Oh, sinner ere perdition’s waves
Shall roll in fury o’er thee,
Come unto Jesus Christ who saves,
And give to Him the glory.
