Love, Mighty and Wonderful

Author: Frank Ellsworth Graeff Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11564 First Line: Before a cross uplifted high Refrain First Line: Love, mighty and wonderful, Lyrics: 1 Before a cross uplifted high, I stood alone one day; My soul was burdened with a guilt No tears could wash away. Refrain: Love, mighty and wonderful, Love, boundless and free, Love that suffered upon the cross, The love that died for me. 2 In grief and pain I wept aloud, In helpless agony; When from the cross I heard One speak, I gave My life for thee. [Refrain] 3 That voice, so sweet, entranced my soul, It gave me hope and cheer; Tho’ trembling, I drew near the cross, For I had naught to fear. [Refrain] 4 And there upon that cruel cross My Savior died that day; I looked, believed, and from my soul, The burden rolled away.
