Verse 1
Hast thou heard of God, who in wondrous love, Gave his only Son to die; Died that we might live, yes, forevermore, In a home prepar'd on high.
Chorus
It was wonderful love, Oh, such wonderful love, God's love in Christ made nigh; It was wonderful love, Oh, yes, matchless love, That brought Christ here to die.
Verse 2
It was love that gave, it was love that came, When the Lord appear'd to men; On the cruel cross Jesus died in love, There to save us from our sin.
Chorus
It was wonderful love, Oh, such wonderful love, God's love in Christ made nigh; It was wonderful love, Oh, yes, matchless love, That brought Christ here to die.
Verse 3
I was won to Christ by this wondrous love, Oh, the love of God to me; For it filled my soul, and it made me whole, It has cleans'd and made me free.
Chorus
It was wonderful love, Oh, such wonderful love, God's love in Christ made nigh; It was wonderful love, Oh, yes, matchless love, That brought Christ here to die.
Verse 4
By the love that sought, by the love that bought, By the grace God sends so free; All who Christ receive, and on him believe, They shall live eternally.
Chorus
It was wonderful love, Oh, such wonderful love, God's love in Christ made nigh; It was wonderful love, Oh, yes, matchless love, That brought Christ here to die.
