7604. The Wonderful Jesus

1. ’Tis a wonderful, wonderful Jesus
That came to the earth Christmas Day,
Bringing sunlight of peace and rejoicing,
To drive all the shadows away.

Refrain
A wonderful, wonderful Jesus,
Whose love song the bright angels sing;
A wonderful, wonderful Jesus,
Thank God, we can call Him our king!

2. Bow, ye nations, before His bright scepter;
O sing, all ye isles of the sea;
For deliverance comes with the Savior,
Whose kingdom eternal shall be. [Refrain]

3. ’Tis a wonderful, wonderful Jesus,
Who claims all our lives for His own;
Let Him reign in our hearts ever glorious;
Receive Him and crown Him alone. [Refrain]
