Ask ye what great thing I know

1 Ask ye what great thing I know
that delights and stirs me so
What the high reward I win
Whose the name I glory in
Jesus Christ the crucified

2 Who defeats my fiercest foes
Who consoles my saddest woes
Who revives my fainting heart
healing all its hidden smart
Jesus Christ the crucified

3 Who is life in life to me
Who the death of death will be
Who will place me on his right
with the countless hosts of light
Jesus Christ the crucified

4 This is that great thing I know
this delights and stirs me so
faith in him who died to save
him who triumphed o er the grave
Jesus Christ the crucified
