Lyrics

Wonderful love that found us
Out on the mount­ain cold!
Wonderful love that brought us
Into the Sav­ior’s fold!

Refrain

Wonderful love of Je­sus!
Tell it in thank­ful song;
Tell of its pow­er and great­ness;
Sing it the whole day long.

Wonderful love whose pre­sence
Beaming with light di­vine,
Ever through clouds and dark­ness
Maketh the sun to shine.

Refrain

Wonderful love that keeps us
Near to the Sav­ior’s throne!
Dropping in ten­der bless­ings,
Filled with a joy un­known.

Refrain

When to the gate of Ed­en
Gathered in peace we come,
Wonderful love our pass­word
Into the soul’s dear home.
