192. Is It Not Wonderful?

1 Wondrous it seemeth to me,
Jesus so gracious should be,
Mercy revealing, comforting, healing,
Blessing a sinner like me.

Refrain:
Is it not wonderful, is it not wonderful
Jesus so gracious should be?
Yes, it is wonderful, strange and so wonderful,
That He should pardon and save even me!

2 Heart of mine never could know
Jesus such peace could bestow,
Till the dear Saviour show'd me His favor,
Cleansed my heart whiter than snow. [Refrain]

3 Once I was full of all sin,
Now, thro’ the blood, I am clean;
Willing to save me, pardon He gave me,
And I am happy within. [Refrain]

4 Long I resisted His grace,
In my heart gave Him no place,
But Jesus sought me till He had bro't me,
Penitent, seeking His face. [Refrain]

5 He doth my new heart control,
Cleansing and keeping me whole,
Banishing sadness, with joy and gladness
Filling and thrilling my soul. [Refrain]
