How Great the Wisdom and the Love

Lyrics

1. 1. How great the wisdom and the love

   That filled the courts on high

   And sent the Savior from above

   To suffer, bleed, and die!

2. 2. His precious blood he freely spilt;

   His life he freely gave,

   A sinless sacrifice for guilt,

   A dying world to save.

3. 3. By strict obedience Jesus won

   The prize with glory rife:

   “Thy will, O God, not mine be done,”

   Adorned his mortal life.

4. 4. He marked the path and led the way,

   And ev’ry point defines

   To light and life and endless day

   Where God’s full presence shines.

5. 5. In mem’ry of the broken flesh

   We eat the broken bread

   And witness with the cup, afresh,

   Our faith in Christ, our Head.

6. 6. How great, how glorious, how complete

   Redemption’s grand design,

   Where justice, love, and mercy meet

   In harmony divine!
