It Is A Thing Most Wonderful

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-97 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God’s own Son should come from heav’n, And die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true: He came to this poor world below, And wept and toiled and mourned and died, Only because He loved us so. 3 I cannot tell how He could love A child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful, If He could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about His cross, And shut my eyes, and try to see The cruel nails, and crown of thorns, And Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part Of that great love, which, like a fire, Is always burning in His heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; But ’tis more wonderful to see My love for Him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love Thee, Lord: O light the flame within my heart, And I will love Thee more and more Until I see Thee as Thou art!

Is not forsaken by His God. 4 'Tis midnight - and from ether plains, Is borne the song that angels know: Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.

Come, sinners, see your Maker die, And say, was ever grief like His? Come, feel with me His blood applied: My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God: Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesu's blood, Pardon for all flows from His side: My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath His cross, And gladly catch the healing stream, All things for Him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to Him; Of nothing think or speak beside; The Lord, my Love is crucified.
