Lyrics - How Great The Wisdom and The Love

How great the wisdom and the love
That filled the courts on high
And sent the Savior from above
To suffer bleed, and die.

His precious blood he freely spilt;
life he freely gave,
A sinless sacrifice for guilt,
A dying world to save.

By strict obedience Jesus won
The prize with glory rife:
"Thy will, O God, not mine be done,"
Adorned his mortal life.

He marked the path and led the way,
And every point defines
To light and life and endless day.
Where God's full presence shines.
