Representative Text

1 In His undying love Christ came from Heav'n above,
Came to redeem us from death and despair;
Come, then, make no delay, turn from thy sin away,
Casting on Him ev'ry sorrow and care.

Chorus:
Oh, it is wonderful, So very wonderful,
That we by grace should be Saved thro' eternity;
Oh! it is wonderful, So very wonderful,
That He should suffer On Calv'ry for me.

2 While we in sin were dead, Christ, the Redeemer bled,
Suffer'd and sorrowed on Calvary's tree;
Matchless the love He show'd, it was the debt we owed,
Blessed the tho't, that He suffer'd for me. [Chorus]

3 Jesus, the Holy One, God's well beloved Son,
Offers to ransom thy sin burden'd soul;
Pleads with thee tenderly, willing to pardon thee;
Yield to His love, let Him now make thee whole. [Chorus]
