Lyrics

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.
