Lyrics
1. Let glory to Him in the highest be given
Our Father Eternal our God and our King
He rules and He reigns o'er the expansions of heaven
And showers down blessings on mortal offspring
2. The majesty of His invention is present
In each towering mountain each sunset sublime
The forests and oceans and planets incessant
All testify of a Creator Divine
3. He gives us His spirit to guide us in darkness
We call on His name and the devil we shun
But one gift to us above all is most precious
For He loved us so that He sent us His Son
4. Let earth and its residents shout hallelujiah
Let all of the universe rise up and sing
Let glory to Him in the highest be given
Our Father Eternal our God and our King
Story:
"Let Glory To Him In The Highest Be Given" (Summer 2006)
Moving from Cedar City to St. George was hard, but only by the grace of God did it happen! I'm grateful to a Father that is
involved in the details of my life. Our first Sunday after moving I penned the text (12-11-12-11 meter, I'm so proud!) and
set it quickly. Hymns are not my favorite genre to write, nor are they very popular on the site, but I do like this one,
especially the message.
