4482. Wonderful Jesus

1 Wonderful Jesus! glorious friend!
He will be with me unto the end,
Cheering, upholding, keeping me strong,
Fearless and loyal, shielding from wrong.

Refrain:
Wonderful Jesus! marvelous King!
Ever His praise my spirit shall sing;
When I behold His glorified face,
How I shall praise His wonderful grace!

2 Wonderful Jesus! showing the way
Into the blessèd kingdom of day;
Guiding my footsteps, holding control,
Making me happy, keeping me whole. [Refrain]

3 Wonderful Jesus! all thro’ the night
He will enfold me, giving me light;
Then when the morning breaks on the shore,
This He will whisper, "Mine evermore." [Refrain]
