Lyrics

Of the themes that men have known,
One su­preme­ly stands alone;
Through the ag­es it has shown,
’Tis His won­der­ful, won­der­ful love.

Refrain

Love is the theme, love is su­preme;
Sweeter it grows, glo­ry be­stows;
Bright as the sun ev­er it glows!
Love is the theme, eter­nal theme!

Let the bells of Hea­ven ring,
Let the saints their trib­ute bring,
Let the world true prais­es sing
For His won­der­ful, won­der­ful love.

Refrain

Since the Lord my soul un­bound,
I am tell­ing all around
Pardon, peace and joy are found
In His won­der­ful, won­der­ful love.

Refrain

As of old when blind and lame
To the bless­èd Mas­ter came,
Sinners, call up­on His name,
Trust His won­der­ful, won­der­ful love.
