To God Be the Glory

Congregational singing
Grace Community Church - Sun Valley, California
Text: Fanny Crosby
To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the Life-gate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done!
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.
Refrain
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our victory, when Jesus we see.
Refrain

This would be perfect, but for the second stanza that is played in an off key. Why do they always do this with hymns in churches? It ruins congregational singing for those not musically trained, like me.

listen to the person next to you that is able to hold the tune. simple 😁

[@Freethinkingtheist77]

I agree with you completely. And its not just organ pieces such as this. Big bands do it, Christmas carols are another victim. I love the melodies of so many tunes and sometimes when a musician is trying to do something different or clever they just lose the melody. I thought was the only one that thought that way!

Variations are used to make the hymns not sound boring but yeah you are correct. The problem in this case is that if a variation is too different from the original material, it should be played in a supporting tone. The organist should have switched the voice to something calmer and lowered the volume.

'They' do it to make us snivel and then maybe learn to adapt...
