How Great the Wisdom

Words: Benjamin Beddome · Music: John Randall · 1817

Verse 1
How great the wisdom, pow'r, and grace
which in redemption shine!
The heav'nly host with joy confess
the work is all divine.

Verse 2
Before his feet they cast their crowns—
those crowns which Jesus gave—
and with ten thousand thousand tongues
proclaim his pow'r to save.

Verse 3
They tell the triumphs of his cross,
the suff'rings which he bore:
how low he stooped, how high he rose,
and rose to stoop no more.

Verse 4
Oh, let them still their voices raise.
And still their songs renew:
salvation well deserves the praise
of men and angels, too.
