O the won­drous sto­ry of a Sav­ior’s love,
Coming from a throne to Cal­va­ry;
Leaving all the glo­ries of that home above,
Died to save and set a lost world free.

Refrain

O love di­vine, His love to prove,
Christ paid the debt for you and me;
All praise to His re­deem­ing love,
He left a throne for Cal­va­ry.

Thro’ God’s ten­der mer­cy
And His bound­less love,
Jesus left a throne for Cal­va­ry;
But he con­quered death,
And lives, and reigns ab­ove,
Now His blood atones for you and me.

Refrain

O the pre­cious know­ledge of a Sav­ior’s love,
And a peace the world can­not de­stroy;
While the blest as­sur­ance of a home ab­ove,
Fills the heart and soul with praise and joy.

Refrain
