To God Be the Glory and Nine Other Hymns for Solo Piano

Wonderful Grace of Jesus is one of my favorite hymns. To God Be the Glory is another one. At an early age, I remember memorizing its place in Great Hymns of the Faith—#449. Every time that this was one of the ones we were to sing on Sunday, I’d be thrilled—and to this day, I still am.
It’s partly because To God Be the Glory has such a great tune—William H. Doane was a great composer. However, Fanny Crosby’s words in it provide a thought I’ve always tried to live by—in arranging hymns, writing or performing music, as well as any other area of life. God’s the ultimate Creator of us all, and any talent we have, we have because He so chose to bestow it upon us. He created us in His image—therefore, we are to reflect His greatness in whatever we do in life. It’s only appropriate, then, that we should give Him the glory for the “great things He hath done” for us.
Yet this hymn is about so much more than just the mere talents God has given us. It’s about the greatest act God ever performed for us—the act of sending His own Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and save us from our sins. “So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life an atonement for Sin.” Christ needed to atone for sin because we couldn’t. We had no way of paying the price for our sin, and for that, we were doomed to spiritual death—eternal separation from God, in a place of misery called Hell. Enter in Jesus, Who lived a perfect, sinless life, something no human could ever live. Because of that, He could pay the price for our sin by dying. It’s not something He had to do—not something He would have done naturally, being God—it’s something he chose to do because He loved us. “O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood! To ev’ry believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.”
Yes, Christ made the payment for our sin, but by making the payment, he now set the conditions. Salvation’s a gift, after all, and the giver gets to decide how he’s going to give it. Christ set a condition, but it’s an easy one—one which anyone can fulfill. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved!” It’s so easy to do, it’s a wonder why so many refuse—why so many reject God, why so many outright hate him! The reason is that they are blinded to salvation by their own sin. They don’t want to admit that they’re sinners, which is what every believer has to admit in realizing that Jesus is their only way to Heaven. Yet this unwillingness to admit is stupid! You don’t change the fact that you’re a sinner by not admitting it, and God already knows it! He knows it, but He loves you! He doesn’t want to hold it against you. If you’ll only place your faith in Jesus, He’ll all too happily accept Christ’s sacrifice as substitution for your punishment and one day accept you into Heaven. It’s that easy.
That’s the message of this hymn, and that’s why it’s my favorite.
