O WONDROUS LOVE

Representative Text

1. We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear,
We believe it was for us
That our Savior suffered there.
Oh dearly has He loved,
And we must surely love Him,
We must trust in His redeeming love,
And try His work to do.

2. That all the word might be fulfilled,
He hung upon the tree,
Dying there for all mankind,
That the whole world might go free.
Oh dearly has He loved,
And we must surely love Him,
We must trust in His redeeming love,
And try His work to do.

3. We bow our heads in grateful praise,
For such unbounded love,
We will serve Him all our days,
And go home with Him above.
Oh dearly has He loved,
And we must surely love Him,
We must trust in His redeeming love,
And try His work to do.
