225. Ask ye what great thing I know

Full Text

1 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. 2 Who is faith’s foundation strong? What awakes my lips to song? Who did bear my sinful load, Purchased for me peace with God? Jesus Christ, the Crucified. 3 Who hath bid me to believe And the gift of life receive? Who hath made me just and free, And a child of God to be? Jesus Christ, the Crucified. 4 Who defeats my fiercest foes? Who consoles my saddest woes? Who revives my fainting heart, Healing all its hidden smart? Jesus Christ, the Crucified. 5 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. 6 Who hath loosed the prison door By His mighty word and pow’r? Who to life hath wakened me Ever there with Him to be? Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. 7 Who hath given strength to me By His life and victory, Reconciled me unto God, Comforts by His staff and rod? Jesus Christ, exalted Lord. 8 Who directs me from above? Who is object of my love? Who rests not till perfect be All that He hath planned for me? Jesus Christ, the living One. 9 Now ye know my wisdom clear And in whom I glory here. I am His! Who is mine own? Who gives me of life the crown? Jesus Christ, the Glorified! 10 This is that great thing I know; This delights and stirs me so; Faith in Him who died to save, Him who triumphed o’er the grave, Jesus, God of majesty!
