Refrain: Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain, All sufficient grace for even me, Broader than the scope of my transgressions, Greater far than all my sin and shame; O magnify the precious name of Jesus, Praise His name! 2 Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching to all the lost, By it I have been pardoned, Saved to the uttermost; Chains have been torn asunder, Giving me liberty; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. (Refrain) 3 Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, By its transforming power Making him God's dear child, Purchasing peace and heaven, For all eternity; And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore - He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected, and poor.
