The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#3

3. Wondrous Love

1 Come view the cross where Jesus died,
By cruel hands was crucified;
O wondrous tho't, how could it be?
That He should die for even me.

Chorus:
Alone, alone, on Calvary,
He bore the shame and misery,
O wondrous love, how could it be,
That He should die for even me.

2 The sweetest song on mortal tongue,
Or earthly voices ever sung,
As of the One on Calvary,
Who gives to all salvation free. [Chorus]

3 No other One is heav'nly bliss
Could e'er conceive a love like this;
He left His home in glory there
And came to earth our sins to bear. [Chorus]
