Verse 1
Jesus,--and didst Thou leave the sky, To bear our griefs and woes? And didst Thou bleed, and groan and die, For Thy rebellious foes?
Chorus
O ’twas wonderful, wonderful love, That brought Him from heaven above, As a ransom to die on the tree, To save a poor sinner like me.
Verse 2
Well might the heav’ns with wonder view A love so strange as Thine! No thought of angels ever knew Compassion so divine!
Chorus
O ’twas wonderful, wonderful love, That brought Him from heaven above, As a ransom to die on the tree, To save a poor sinner like me.
Verse 3
Is there a heart that will not bend To Thy divine control? Descend, O sovereign love, descend, And melt that stubborn soul.
Chorus
O ’twas wonderful, wonderful love, That brought Him from heaven above, As a ransom to die on the tree, To save a poor sinner like me.
Verse 4
Oh, may our willing hearts confess Thy sweet, Thy gentle sway; Glad captives of Thy matchless grace, Thy righteous rule obey.
Chorus
O ’twas wonderful, wonderful love, That brought Him from heaven above, As a ransom to die on the tree, To save a poor sinner like me.
