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?

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!
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
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,
And to the Great I AM, While millions join the theme,
I will sing. I will sing. While millions join the theme, I will sing.
Verse 5
Come friends of Zion's King, Join the praise, Join the praise,
Come friends of Zion's King, Join the praise, Come 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!
