Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #91 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How great the wisdom, power and grace Lyrics: 1 How great the wisdom, power and grace
Which in redemption shine!
The heavenly host with joy confess
The work is all divine,
The work is all divine.
2 Before His feet they cast their crowns–
Those crowns which Jesus gave–
And with ten thousand thousand tongues
Proclaim His power to save,
Proclaim His power to save.
3 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,
And rose to stoop no more.
4 O let them still their voices raise,
And still their songs renew:
Salvation well deserves the praise
Of men and angels, too,
Of men and angels, too.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Praise; Jesus Passion; Peace Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Languages: English Tune Title: CAMBRIDGE NEW
