Ask Me What Great Thing I Know

Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy; Johann C. Schwedler Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 169 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 5 Year A Lyrics: 1 Ask me 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 defeats my fiercest foes? Who consoles my saddest woes? Who revives my fainting heart, healing all that grief imparts? Jesus Christ, the crucified. 3 Who is life in life to me? Who the death of death will be? Who holds all my days secure, in God's heart where love is sure? Jesus Christ, the crucified. 4 This is that great thing I know; this delights and stirs me so: faith in Christ who died to save, Christ who triumphed o'er the grave, Jesus Christ, the crucified.

All on earth your sceptre claim; all in heaven above adore you; Infinite your vast domain, everlasting is your reign. 2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: "Holy, holy, holy Lord." 3 Lo, the apostolic train joins your sacred Name to hallow; prophets swell the glad refrain, and the white-robed martyrs follow; and from morn till set of sun, through the Church the song goes on.

Lo, how its splendour challenges the souls that greatly dare, yea, bids us seize the whole of life and build its glory there! Used With Tune: MORNING SONG

Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great name; we cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward, When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord; "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea.
