The Greatest is But to Come Gospel is a Christian hymn that expresses the assumption that the perfect issues in life are but to return. It’s primarily based on the Biblical verse Romans 8:18, which says, “I take into account that our current sufferings will not be value evaluating with the glory that might be revealed in us.” The lyrics of the hymn had been written by Henry Van Dyke in 1908, and the music was composed by John E. Bode in 1912.
The hymn has been a supply of consolation and inspiration for Christians for over a century. It reminds us that even when we face troublesome occasions, we are able to have hope for the long run. One of the best is but to return, and God is with us on the journey.
