Lyrics
-
1. How great the wisdom and the loveThat filled the courts on highAnd sent the Savior from aboveTo suffer, bleed, and die!
-
2. His precious blood he freely spilt;His life he freely gave,A sinless sacrifice for guilt,A dying world to save.
-
3. By strict obedience Jesus wonThe prize with glory rife:"Thy will, O God, not mine be done,"Adorned his mortal life.
-
4. He marked the path and led the way,And ev'ry point definesTo light and life and endless dayWhere God's full presence shines.
-
5. In mem'ry of the broken fleshWe eat the broken breadAnd witness with the cup, afresh,Our faith in Christ, our Head.
-
6. How great, how glorious, how completeRedemption's grand design,Where justice, love, and mercy meetIn harmony divine!
