Greatest Things

The greatest wisdom is to know
The love of God revealed below;
To know His Son who came in grace,
And died to save a guilty race
From sin and endless woe.

The greatest blessing is to have
A living hope beyond the grave;
To have, when this short life is done,
A place with Christ above the sun,
Who came in love to save.

The greatest joy that fills the breast
Is peace with God, through Christ, possessed.
It makes the heart with rapture swell;
For oh! 'tis joy unspeakable
To be thus fully blessed!
