How Great the Wisdom and the Love
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 wayAnd ev’ry point defines,To light and life and endless dayWhere God’s full presence shines.
5. How great, how glorious and completeRedemption’s grand design.Where justice, love, and mercy meetIn harmony divine.
6. In memory of the broken fleshWe eat the broken bread,And witness with the cup, afreshOur faith in Christ, our Head.
