O Wonderful Savior

I have heard a most won­der­ful story

Of Je­sus

the Sav­ior and king;

How He came from the bright realms of glo­ry

Glad news of sal­va­tion to bring.

O won­der­ful

won­der­ful Sav­ior

Thy prais­es with joy we will sing:

For com­ing on earth to re­deem us

We crown Thee for­ev­er our king!

With the poor and the low­ly He min­gled—

Yes

even the vil­est of men

Showing mer­cy and love as they lin­gered

To hear His blest words un­to them.

A poor wo­man was brought to Him help­less

To be stoned for her sins in the past;

He re­plied to them

He that is sin­less

By him let the first stone be cast.

See Him weep at a grave in the hour

When tears of ang­uish are shed;

See Him burst­ing the tomb by His pow­er

Saying

La­zarus

come forth from the dead!

Yes

He came to give life to the dy­ing

To heal all the brok­en in heart;

And He pro­mised a home where’s no sigh­ing

And loved ones shall ne’er again part.
