      Lyrics:
      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
      His life he freely gave
      A sinless sacrifice for guilt
      A dying world to save

      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

      How great, how glorious, how complete,
      Redemption's grand design
      Where justice, love, and mercy meet
      In harmony divine!
