Come, Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love

lyricist: Robert Walmsley (1831–1905)
Composer: Adam Watson (1845–1912)

Come

let us sing of a won­der­ful love

Tender and true

ten­der and true

Out of the heart of the Fa­ther ab­ove

Streaming to me and to you:

Wonderful love

won­der­ful love

Dwells in the heart of the Fa­ther ab­ove.

Jesus the Sav­ior this Gos­pel to tell

Joyfully came

joy­ful­ly came

Came with the help­less and hope­less to dwell

Sharing their sor­row and shame:

Seeking the lost

seek­ing the lost

Saving

re­deem­ing at mea­sure­less cost.

Jesus is seek­ing the wan­der­ers yet;

Why do they roam? Why do they roam?

Love on­ly waits to for­give and for­get;

Home

wea­ry wan­der­ers

home!

Wonderful love

won­der­ful love

Dwells in the heart of the Fa­ther ab­ove.

Come to my heart

O thou won­der­ful love!

Come and abide

come and ab­ide

Lifting my life till it ris­es ab­ove

Envy and false­hood and pride:

Seeking to be

seek­ing to be

Lowly and hum­ble

a learn­er of thee.
