Wondrous Love
Verse 1
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul? What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul;
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul? What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul;
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul
Verse 2
To God and to the Lamb I will sing,
I will sing; To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing; To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I am, While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing; While millions join the theme, I will sing.
I will sing; To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing; To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I am, While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing; While millions join the theme, I will sing.
Verse 3
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free,
I'll sing and joyful be, And through eternity
I'll sing on, I'll sing on! And through eternity, I'll sing on
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free,
I'll sing and joyful be, And through eternity
I'll sing on, I'll sing on! And through eternity, I'll sing on
This American folk hymn with its distinctive modal melody expresses wonder at Christ's redemptive sacrifice.
