Glory Be to Jesus’ Name

lyricist: Anonymous, before 1895
Composer: George Stebbins

Glory

glo­ry be to Je­sus

Glory to His pre­cious name;

Sweet it is to sound His prais­es

Blest it is to spread His fame.

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory be to Je­sus’ name

Sweet it is to sound His prais­es

Blest it is to spread His fame.

In the place of His re­ject­ion

Where He suf­fered

where He died

Bursts of ho­ly praise as­cend­ing

Greet the glo­ri­ous Cru­ci­fied.

Here was marred His bless­èd vi­sage

Here His brow was wreathed with thorn

Here the ob­ject of de­ri­sion

Bitter taunt and mock­ing scorn.

Yes

tri­umph­ant hal­le­lu­jahs

Still arise to greet His name;

Sweet it is to sound His prais­es

Blest it is to spread His fame.
