Author: O. R. B. Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 5 #22 (1902) First Line: Oh! how wondrous is the story Refrain First Line: Glory, glory hallelujah Lyrics: 1 Oh! how wondrous is the story!
How the matchless Son of God
Left His home of heav’nly glory, and for us
He interposed His precious blood.
Refrain:
Glory, glory hallelujah,
To the Lamb once slain upon the tree,
Now He pleads before His Father’s throne above,
And intercedes for you and me.
2 Oh! what love is here abounding!
How it human love transcends!
Jesus dies to bring His enemies to God,
To reconcile and make us friends. [Refrain]
3 Who will slight His tender pleading?
Who resist such melting love?
Come accept His free and full salvation now,
And then we’ll reign with Him above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh! how wondrous is the story]
