What Wondrous Love Is This?

What Wondrous Love Is This?

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb Who is the great “I Am”;
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on.

Maybe this is a predictable response, but I do not think I know that one.

It looks a bit repetitive, but otherwise those words are good.

God Bless

LOL, it is a bit repetitive, isn't it. I've never heard this one so thanks for sharing Angie! :)

It's an American folk song from the South. I think it's very powerful! Shieryl, they do sing it from time to time at WHBC, but I suppose they may not have since you started going there.

Oh, oh! That is my all-time favorite hymn!
