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 our redemption to win,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life our redemption to win,
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;
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.
Let the earth hear His voice;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.

Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

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 transport when Jesus we see.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people (us) rejoice! We need to enjoy the Lord and His redemption so the whole world can see Him. This is the good news. If we don’t praise Him where will the world be?

I was so surprised to see different words in the first verse from those I had grown up singing.
The way I learned it, and as far as I can find, the way Fanny Crosby wrote that verse, the third line was,
"Who yielded His life an atonement for sin"
That is perfectly good, biblical theology.
Why did someone think it was necessary to alter it?
Yes, Jesus did achieve our redemption through laying down His life for us, but that was exactly because He offered Himself as the atoning sacrifice and propitiation for our sins.
Let us give Him the glory for this great thing!
