From the recording Dearest Home
Hymn from the Sacred Harp, 1860
Lyrics
WONDROUS LOVE
What wondrous love is this!
Oh, my soul, oh my soul!
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul?
When I was sinking down,
Sinking down, Sinking down,
Beneath God’s righteous frown
Christ laid aside His crown
For my soul.
Ye friends of Zion’s King, join his praise, join his praise,
Ye friends of Zion’s King, join his praise.
Ye friends of Zion’s King, with hears 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;
Who is the great I Am,
While millions join the theme,
I will sing.
And when from death I’m free
I’ll sing on; I’ll sing on;
I’ll sing and joyful be,
Throughout eternity
I’ll sing on.
