O How Wonderful

 

 

I stand amazed in the presence

Of Jesus the Nazarene

 

 

 

 

 

 

And wonder how a He could love me

A sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

And my song shall ever be

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

Is my Saviour’s love for me

2

For me it was in the garden

He prayed:

“Not My will, but Thine.”

He had no tears for His own griefs

But sweat drops of blood for mine.

Refrain

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

And my song shall ever be

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

Is my Saviour’s love for me

3

In pity angels beheld Him

And came from the world of light

To comfort Him in the sorrows

He bore for my soul that night.

Refrain

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

And my song shall ever be

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

Is my Saviour’s love for me.

4

He took my sins and my sorrows

He made them His very own

He bore the burden to Calvary

And suffered and died alone

Refrain

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

And my song shall ever be

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

Is my Saviour’s love for me

5

When with the ransomed in glory

His face I at last shall see

‘Twill be my joy through the ages

To sing of His love for me.

Refrain

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

And my song shall ever be

O how marvelous!

O how wonderful!

Is my Saviour’s love for me
