1 What a wonder of mercy is this!
What a heaven of rapturous bliss!
That a sinner like me
Should from sin be set free,
By the blood that was shed on the tree.

2 What a wand'rer from God I have been!
What a lover of folly and sin!
I have fought against love:
And with light from above,
To accomplish my ruin I strove.

3 What a merciful Father I have!
What a Saviour almighty to save!
From my sins, as I lay
In the mire and the clay,
From the pit he hath caught me away.

4 What a Saviour, Redeemer, and King!
What a song he hath taught me to sing!
Hallelujah, I cry,
He hath set me on high;
Oh he saved me when ready to die!

5 What a joy in my bosom I feel!
What an ardour of friendship and zeal!
What a hope in my breast
Of the heavenly,
Which I long to enjoy with the blest.

6 What a wonder of mercy it is!
What a rapture! a heaven of bliss!
Hallelujah! again!
Hallelujah! amen!
I am saved through the Lamb that was slain.
