Frances Jane “Fanny” Crosby wrote All Glory Be Thine, glorifying God for his holiness, truth, mercy, judgment, sovereignty, love, and salvation. May we all, with Fanny Crosby, desire that all glory be to the Lord who sits on his throne eternal (Matthew 6:13b).
1. Thou only art holy,
Thou only the Lord;
Truth, mercy, and judgment
Shine forth in thy word.
Thou rulest and reignest
All others above;
Thy throne is eternal,
Thy sceptre is love.
Thou only the Lord;
Truth, mercy, and judgment
Shine forth in thy word.
Thou rulest and reignest
All others above;
Thy throne is eternal,
Thy sceptre is love.
2. Thou only art holy;
In thee is our trust;
Thy laws are unchanging,
Thy statutes are just.
All nations and people
Before thee shall fall,
The Father, Redeemer,
And Savior of all.
3. Thou only art holy;
The angels in light
With prophets and martyrs
Their anthems unite.
Thou only art holy,
O Ancient of days;
The boundless creation
Is filled with Thy praise.
Refrain:
Thy throne is eternal,
Thy kingdom divine,
Henceforth and forever
All glory be Thine.
The tune is by John Robson Sweney (1837-1899). A version of this song can be heard HERE.
