<p>Ask ye what great thing I know,<br>
|
|
That delights and stirs me so?<br>
|
|
What the high reward I win?<br>
|
|
Whose the Name I glory in?<br>
|
|
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.</p>
|
|
<p>Who defeats my fiercest foes?<br>
|
|
Who consoles my saddest woes?<br>
|
|
Who revives my fainting heart,<br>
|
|
Healing all its hidden smart?<br>
|
|
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.</p>
|
|
<p>Who is life in life to me?<br>
|
|
Who the death of death will be?<br>
|
|
Who will place me on His right,<br>
|
|
With the countless hosts of light?<br>
|
|
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.</p>
|
|
<p>This is that great thing I know;<br>
|
|
This delights and stirs me so;<br>
|
|
Faith in Him Who died to save,<br>
|
|
Him Who triumphed over the grave:<br>
|
|
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.</p>
