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 lay aside his crown
for my soul, for my soul,
to lay aside his crown
for my soul.
When I was sinking down,
sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down,
sinking down,
When I was sinking down
beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown
for my soul.
Ye winged seraphs, fly,
Bear the news, bear the news,
Ye winged seraphs, fly,
Bear the news,
Ye winged seraphs, fly,
Like comets through the sky,
Fill vast eternity
With the news, with the news.
Fill vast eternity
With the news.
Ye friends of Zion's King,
Join the praise, join the praise,
Ye friends of Zion's King,
Join the praise,
Ye friends of Zion's King,
With hearts and voices sing,
And strike each tuneful string
In his praise, in his praise.
And strike each tuneful string
In his praise.
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.
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.
---Alternative verses---
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 send this precious peace
to my soul, to my soul,
To send this precious peace
to my soul.
