Lyrics

Do you know Je­sus,
Our Lord, our Sav­ior,
Jesus the Son of God?
Have you ever seen Him,
Or shared of His favor?
Jesus the Son of God.

Refrain

O sweet Wonder!
O sweet Wonder!
Jesus the Son of God;
How I adore Thee!
O how I love Thee!
Jesus the Son of God.

God gave Him, a ran­som,
Our souls to re­co­ver;
Jesus the Son of God.
His blood made us wor­thy
His Spir­it to ho­ver;
Jesus the Son of God.

Refrain

O who would re­ject Him,
Despise or for­sake Him,
Jesus the Son of God?
O who ev­er sought Him,
And He would not take Him?
Jesus the Son of God.

Refrain

If you will ac­cept Him
And trust and be­lieve Him,
Jesus the Son of God,
Your soul will ex­alt Him,
And ne­ver will leave Him;
Jesus the Son of God.

Refrain

Then some day from Hea­ven,
On clouds of bright glo­ry,
Jesus the Son of God
Will come for His jew­els,
Most pre­cious and ho­ly,
Jesus the Son of God.
