Author: Mrs. M. M. Stockton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #262 (1888) Scripture: Psalm 14:1 First Line: God loved the world of sinners lost Refrain First Line: Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love! Lyrics: 1 God loved the world of sinners lost
And ruined by the fall;
Salvation full, at highest cost,
He offers free to all.
Refrain:
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
2 Ev'n now by faith I claim him mine,
The risen Son of God;
Redemption by his death I find,
And cleansing through the blood. [Refrain]
3 Love brings the glorious fullness in,
And to his saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain]
4 Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be given
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain]
5 Of victory now o'er Satan's power
Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph in the dying hour
Through Christ the Lord our King. [Refrain] Topics: Access to God; Atonement Provided; Christ Blood of; Christ Ransom; Christ Redeemer; Christ Saviour Languages: English Tune Title: WONDROUS LOVE
