What Wondrous Love Is This

What wondrous love is this? O my soul, O my soul!What wondrous love is this, O my soul?What wondrous love is this?Which caused the Lord of blissTo 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 awful frown,Christ laid aside his crownFor my soul.

When I began to pray for my soul, for my soul,When I began to pray for my soul,When I began to pray,Thus the word of God did say,Christ is the truth and the way,For thy soul.

He shed his heavenly light in my soul, in my soul,He shed his heavenly light in my soul,He shed his heavenly light,To disperse the gloom of night,Now it shines with radiance bright,In my soul.
