| Text: | The Wonderful Savior of Love |

| Composer: | J. V. Coombs |
1 I read in the Bible a story,
The wonderful story of love,
Of Jesus, my Savior in glory,
The wonderful Savior above.
The wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Savior,
The wonderful Savior of love;
O praise Him, and serve Him, and love Him forever,
The wonderful Savior of love.
2 I sing of His goodness and mercy—
His mercy so boundless and free;
I know when I pass thro’ the portals,
The face of my Savior I’ll see.
The wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Savior,
The wonderful Savior of love;
O praise Him, and serve Him, and love Him forever,
The wonderful Savior of love.
3 And when I am crossing the river,
My Savior will be with me there,
And then I shall wake in the morning,
Awake in that city so fair.
The beautiful, beautiful, beautiful city,
The city so bright and so fair;
O Jesus, my Savior, I’ll love Thee forever,
The wonderful Savior of love.
