All Glory Be To God Alone

Representative Text

1 All glory be to God alone,
All nations bow before His throne.
May His dread wrath be ended now:
May He with love all men endow.
Let all the joyful message hear
And thank the Lord in holy fear.

2 Great God of heav'n, Thy might we sing,
To Thee our fervent thanks we bring;
We kneel before Thy throne of grace
And burn the incense of our praise;
Thro' endless ages we proclaim
The glory of Thy holy Name.

3 Lord God, eternal King above,
Almighty Father, Truth, and Love;
O Christ, the Father's only Son,
Before creation was begun;
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee we cry,
Thou everlasting God on high.

4 Do Thou, O bearer of our sin,
In us Thy work of grace begin;
For all our sins Thou didst atone,
And we are saved by grace alone;
Thou sittest at Thy Father's hand;
O bring us to that heav'nly land. A-Men.

5 To Thee we cry with one accord,
Thou everlasting God and Lord;
Thou art of heaven and earth the King;
To Thee, our Savior, praise we sing
With all the choir of heaven's host,
O Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

6 Amen! This is most surely true,
And angel hymns, forever new,
Are sung in endless, joyful praise
As we upon Thy glory gaze;
World without end the Church will sing
The glory of her heavenly King.

Professor Paul E. Kretzman led a group of Lutherans who left church fellowship with some Lutheran congregations in 1956 after he was charged with teaching error in class. He and his followers organized the Lutheran Churches of the Reformation. He wrote several Bible Commentaries and translated many hymns.
