Lyrics

Born in a man­ger, low­ly and poor,
Willing the world’s dark frowns to en­dure,
Came the dear Lord, our Sav­ior to be,
Wonderful love for thee and me.

Refrain

Wonderful love, won­der­ful love,
Wonderful love for thee and me;
Wonderful love, won­der­ful love,
Wonderful love for thee and me.

Tell of His love to those who are sad,
Bring them the news so won­drous and glad;
Tell them that Christ their help­er would be,
Wonderful love for thee and me.

Refrain

Let ev­ery soul from near and from far,
Follow the rays of Beth­le­hem’s star;
Till it shall shine o’er Cal­va­ry’s tree,
Wonderful love for thee and me.
