How
Great the Wisdom and the Love
Eliza R
Snow 1804-1887
How
great the wisdom and the love
That
filled the courts on high
And
sent the Savior from above
To
suffer, bleed, and die!
His
precious blood he freely spilt;
His
life he freely gave,
A
sinless sacrifice for guilt,
A dying
world to save
By
strict obedience Jesus won
The
prize with glory rife:
"Thy
will, O God, not mine be done,"
Adorned
his mortal life.
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.
In
mem'ry of the broken flesh
We eat
the broken bread
And
witness with the cup, afresh,
Our
faith in Christ, our Head.
How
great, how glorious, how complete
Redemption's
grand design,
Where
justice, love, and mercy meet
In
harmony divine!
