1 The Savior’s love is wonderful;
Our lives it helps us to control,
And fully satisfies the soul,
And soon the world will know it.

Chorus:
Yes, soon the world will know it,
Soon all the world will know it,—
The sweet and blessed story
Of Jesus and his love.

2 True comfort always it imparts
To troubled minds and breaking hearts;
It shields the soul from countless darts,
And soon the world will know it. [Chorus]

3 No other love such joy affords,
So sweetly with the soul accords,—
No other love is like the Lord’s,
And soon the world will know it. [Chorus]

4 His love would rid the world of sin;
And nations endless peace would win
If ev’ry soul would let it in;
And soon the world will know it. [Chorus]
