Dear Lord, How Wondrous Is Thy Love

lyricist: Anonymous, 1791
Composer: D. M. Click, 1898

Dear Lord

how won­drous is Thy love

To such un­wor­thy worms as we!

Thou hast sent down the heav’n­ly Dove

To set our souls at li­ber­ty.

We that were doomed to woe and pain

Exposed to death of ev­ery kind

Thro’ Je­sus Christ

the Lamb once slain

Do life

and peace

and par­don find.

Shall we for­get our Sav­ior’s grace

Who died to save our guil­ty souls

And bring us to His Fa­ther’s face

Where end­less peace and plea­sure rolls?

Forbid

O Lord

each wan­der­ing thought

May Christ be all in our es­teem;

Let earth­ly things be all for­got

And count­ed loss

com­pared with Him.

Lord Je­sus

make us bear in mind

Thy rich

Thy pure re­deem­ing love

Till we shall be for ev­er joined

With those that sing Thy praise ab­ove.

Then shall we stand be­fore Thy face

And shout with all the ran­somed throng;

Our cry shall be Free grace

free grace

While end­less ag­es roll along.
