20. Wonderful Saviour

1 Wonderful, Lord, thy lowly birth,
Wonderful all thy years on earth;
Gratefully we thy pure life trace,—
Deeds of compassion, words of grace.

Refrain:
Wonderful, wonderful Saviour,
Love without measure is thine;
Oh, it is wonderful! glorious and wonderful!
This loving Saviour is mine.

2 Wonderful night of agony!
Wonderful cross of Calvary!
Praying for those who nailed thee there;
Wonderful sorrow, conflict, prayer. [Refrain]

3 Wonderful all thy life above,
Pleading for us in thy great love;
Wonderful, though exalted there
Sweet name of Brother thou dost bear. [Refrain]

4 Wonderful heart, that throbs for all,
Sinful and weak, who on thee call;
How can I praise thee! joy divine,
Wonderful Savior, thou art mine! [Refrain]
