Lyrics

I sing of the King of glo­ry,
And the won­der­ful love of God;
I sing of the pure and ho­ly,
The Lamb of sa­cred sto­ry,
Of Je­sus, the Sav­ior,
And the won­der­ful love of God.

Refrain

The wond­er­ful love of God,
The won­der­ful love of God,
Believe thou and trust thou
In the won­der­ful love of God.

Above this dark world’s moan­ing
Broods this won­der­ful love of God;
Within each heart, tho’ sin­ning,
Is felt the touch so win­ning,
Of Je­sus, the Sav­ior,
And the won­der­ful love of God.

Refrain

No heart so en­gulfed in sor­row
But the won­der­ful love of God
Lies ’neath it out­spread; then bor­row
No fear for the dread to­mor­row,
But trust thou the Savior,
And the won­der­ful love of God.

Refrain

Oh, yield to the voice so press­ing,
Of the won­der­ful love of God;
Oh, come, and thy need con­fess­ing,
Receive in thy soul the bless­ing
Of Je­sus, the Sav­ior,
And the won­der­ful love of God.

Refrain
