How Great the Wisdom

How great the wis­dom

pow­er and grace

Which in re­demp­tion shine!

Angels and men with joy con­fess

The work is all di­vine.

Myriads of spir­its round the throne

Behold with won­der­ing eyes

God’s holy

un­de­fil­èd One

Once made a sac­ri­fice

Beneath His feet they cast their crowns

Those crowns which Je­sus gave

And

with ten thou­sand thou­sand tongues

Proclaim His pow­er to save.

They tell the tri­umphs of His cross

The suf­fer­ings which He bore;

How low He stooped

how high He rose

And rose to stoop no more.

Oh let them still their voic­es raise

And still their songs re­new;

Salvation well de­serves the praise

Of men

and an­gels

too.
