Chorus: It was wonderful love, Oh, such wonderful love, God's love in Christ made nigh; It was wonderful love, Oh, yes, matchless love, That brought Christ here to die. 2 It was love that gave, it was love that came, When the Lord appear'd to men; On the cruel cross Jesus died in love, There to save us from our sin. [Chorus] 3 I was won to Christ by this wondrous love, Oh, the love of God to me; For it filled my soul, and it made me whole, It has cleans'd and made me free. [Chorus] 4 By the love that sought, by the love that bought, By the grace God sends so free; All who Christ receive, and on him believe, They shall live eternally.

Roblin (a anagram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy.

He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks.
