His Wonderful Love

If the love of all ag­es since time was be­gun

Could be sud­denly weld­ed or rolled in­to one

It would be but a sha­dow I see

It would be but a sha­dow I see;

By the side of His love when He died in my stead

With a sor­row torn heart and a thorn pierc­èd head

And His won­der­ful love was for me

Yes

His won­der­ful love was for me.

His won­der­ful love was for me

His love that is price­less yet free;

When my soul’s hope was lost

His love paid the cost

O that won­der­ful love for me!

’Tis the cost­li­est love that has ev­er been known

Yet He paid the great price

and He paid it alone

In the sha­dow of Cal­va­ry’s tree

In the sha­dow of Cal­va­ry’s tree.

It is bound­less as time and as wide as all space

And it takes all of man­kind with­in its em­brace

But this won­der­ful love was for me

Yes

His won­der­ful love was for me.

’Tis a love that will help me to live my life here

Be it ev­er so plea­sant

or lone­ly and drear

To the trea­sures of life ’tis the key

To the trea­sures of life ’tis the key.

It will pi­lot me down thro’ the shades of the tomb

And will snatch my poor soul from eter­ni­ty’s doom

Yes

this won­der­ful love was for me

Yes

His won­der­ful love was for me.
