Wondrous Love

Text attributed to Alexander Means

Sung to WONDROUS LOVE, Southern Harmony, 1835

Galations 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

V. 1 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?

Exodus 3:14, 15 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ”

God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me

from generation to generation."

V. 2 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.

V. 3 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.
