Author: E. A. Barnes Hymnal: Light and Life #17 (1881) First Line: In the Gospel's sweet old story Refrain First Line: Oh, 'tis wonderful, wonderful Lyrics: 1 In the Gospel's sweet old story,
Lo! I read its golden theme,
How the Prince of life and glory,
Came to suffer and redeem.
Refrain:
Oh, 'tis wonderful, wonderful,
Yes, 'tis wonderful wonderful!
Oh, 'tis wonderful, wonderful,
The story of his love.
2 Sin its secret work was plying,
Adding guilt with ev'ry day,
Till I read that Christ in dying,
Died to take my guilt away. [Refrain]
3 To his love I was a stranger,
To his call I gave no heed,
Till at last I saw my danger,
Found the friend I stood in need. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the Gospel's sweet old story]
Oh! 'tis wonderful
