Ask Ye What Great Thing I Know

Ask ye what great thing I know

That de­lights and stirs me so?

What the high re­ward I win?

Whose the name I glo­ry in?

Jesus Christ

the Cr­uci­fied.

What is faith’s foun­da­tion strong?

What awakes my heart to song?

He who bore my sin­ful load

Purchased for me peace with God

Jesus Christ

the Cru­ci­fied.

Who is He that makes me wise

To dis­cern where du­ty lies?

Who is He that makes me true

Duty

when dis­cerned to do

Jesus Christ

the Cru­ci­fied.

Who de­feats my fierc­est foes?

Who con­soles my sad­dest woes?

Who re­vives my faint­ing heart

Healing all its hid­den smart?

Jesus Christ

the Cru­ci­fied.

Who is life in life to me?

Who the death of death will be?

Who will place me on His right

With the count­less hosts of light?

Jesus Christ

the Cru­ci­fied.

This is that great thing I know;

This de­lights and stirs me so;

Faith in Him who died to save

Him who tri­umphed ov­er the grave:

Jesus Christ

the Cru­ci­fied.
