Wondrous Love


Song begins at 1:48
A religious opinion* at 5:39
An early American hymn occasionally attributed to the Reverend Alex Means.
Rise Up Singing chapter: Faith, p.48

DmC DmC Dm C / Am FC Dm - / F G Am Dm / DmC DmC Dm C / Am FC Dm -

I like to add in a G in the second line, giving this:
DmC DmC Dm C / Am FC Dm DmG / F G Am Dm / DmC DmC Dm C / Am FC Dm -

What wondrous love is this, oh my soul, oh 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

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

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
Throughout eternity I'll sing on
