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.
