178. What Wondrous Love

1 What wondrous love is this! O my soul! O my soul!
What wondrous love is this! O my soul!
What wondrous love is this,
That caused the Lord of bliss
To send this precious peace To my soul, To my soul!
To send this precious peace To my soul.

2 When I was sinking down, Sinking down, Sinking down,
When I was sinking down, Sinking down,
When I was sinking down,
Beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown For my soul, For my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown For my soul.

3 Ye winged seraphs, fly, Bear the news, Bear the news;
Ye winged seraphs, fly, Bear the news;
Ye winged seraphs, fly,
Like comets through the sky,
Fill vast eternity With the news, With the news,
Fill vast eternity With the news.

4 Ye friends of Zion's King, Join the praise, Join the praise:
Ye friends of Zion's King, Join the praise:
Ye friends of Zion's King,
With hearts and voices sing,
And strike each tuneful string, In His praise, In His praise,
And strike each tuneful string In His Praise.

5 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing,
Who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

6 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on:
I'll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity I'll sing on.
