Words & Music: , in The Sal­va­tion Song­ster, 1885.


God gave His Son for me, O wondrous love!
From sin to set me free, O wondrous love!
A guilty rebel I, bound and condemned to die,
He did not pass me by, O wondrous love!
A guilty rebel I, bound and condemned to die,
He did not pass me by, O wondrous love!

There, there at God’s right hand, O wondrous love!
I see my Savior stand, O wondrous love!
He makes my nature pure, in Him I am secure;
Whatever I endure; O wondrous love!
He makes my nature pure, in Him I am secure;
Whatever I endure; O wondrous love!

He’ll give me needful grace, O wondrous love!
Soon I shall see His face, O wondrous love!
Join those who’ve gone before, sorrow and pain all o’er,
Heav’n, Heaven, forevermore! O wondrous love!
Join those who’ve gone before, sorrow and pain all o’er,
Heav’n, Heaven, forevermore! O wondrous love!
