Cyber Hymnal Never Disappoints

Yesterday I took another peek around Cyber Hymnal. Often I search for words from my blog’s theme, and so, searching for hymns with that all-important message, I usually come across spectacular work by Fanny Crosby. What a gifted individual! The Lord showed His meticulous planning when He chose her to pen such endearing lyrics. The song I discovered is called “Glory Ever Be to Jesus,” and it was written in 1887.

“Glory Ever Be to Jesus”

Glory ever be to Jesus,

God’s own well belovèd Son;

By His grace He hath redeemed us,

“It is finished,” all is done.           

Refrain

Saved by grace through faith in Jesus,

Saved by His own precious blood,

May we in His love abiding,

Follow on to know the Lord.

Oh the weary days of wand’ring,

Longing, hoping for the light;

These at last all lie behind us,

Jesus is our strength and might.

Refrain

Saved by grace through faith in Jesus,

Saved by His own precious blood,

May we in His love abiding,

Follow on to know the Lord.

In His safe and holy keeping,

’Neath the shadow of His wing,

Gladly in His love confiding,

May our souls His praises sing.

Refrain

Saved by grace through faith in Jesus,

Saved by His own precious blood,

May we in His love abiding,

Follow on to know the Lord.
