What Wondrous Love Is This?

lyricist: Before 1812
Composer: William Walker, 1835

What won­drous love is this

O my soul

O my soul!

What won­drous love is this

O my soul!

What won­drous love is this

That caused the Lord of bliss

To bear the dread­ful curse

For my soul

for my soul

To bear the dread­ful curse

For my soul.

When I was sink­ing down

Sinking down

sink­ing down

When I was sink­ing down

Sinking down

When I was sink­ing down

Beneath God’s right­eous frown

Christ laid aside His crown

For my soul

for my soul

Christ laid aside His crown

For my soul.

Ye wing­èd ser­aphs fly

Bear the news

bear the news!

Ye wing­èd ser­aphs fly

Bear the news!

Ye wing­èd ser­aphs fly

Like co­mets through the sky

Fill vast eter­ni­ty

With the news

with the news!

Fill vast eter­ni­ty

With the news!

Ye friends of Zi­on’s king

Join His praise

join His praise;

Ye friends of Zion’s king

Join His praise;

Ye friends of Zion’s king

With hearts and voic­es sing

And strike each tune­ful string

In His praise

in His praise!

And strike each tune­ful string

In His praise!

To God and to the Lamb

I will sing

I will sing;

To God and to the Lamb

I will sing.

To God and to the Lamb

Who is the great I Am;

While mill­ions join the theme

I will sing

I will sing;

While mill­ions join the theme

I will sing.

And when from death I’m free

I’ll sing on

I’ll sing on;

And when from death I’m free

I’ll sing on.

And when from death I’m free

I’ll sing and joy­ful be;

And through eter­ni­ty

I’ll sing on

I’ll sing on;

And through eter­ni­ty

I’ll sing on.

Yes

when to that bright world

We arise

we arise

Yes

when to that bright world

We arise;

When to that world we go

Free from all pain and woe

We’ll join the hap­py throng

And sing on

and sing on

We’ll join the hap­py throng

And sing on.
