Text: | How great the wisdom, power, and grace |
Author: | Benjamin Beddome |
Tune: | HOLY CROSS |
Composer: | Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy |
1 How great the wisdom, power, and grace,
Which in redemption shine!
The heavenly host with joy confess
The work is all divine.
2 Before His feet they cast their crowns,
Those crowns which Jesus gave,
And with ten thousand thousand tongues,
Proclaim his power to save.
3 They tell the triumphs of his cross,
The suffering which he bore;
How low he stooped, how high he rose,
And rose to stoop no more.
4 With them let us our voices raise,
And still the song renew;
Salvation well deserves the praise
Of men and angels too.
