1. From heaven’s glory Jesus came,
A sacrifice for sin,
To live and die in bitter shame,
Eternal life to win:
Upon the cross of Calvary
He shed His precious blood for me,
And saved my soul eternally,—
O praise His name!
2. Unworthy tho’ I was of grace,
For me His blood was spilt;
In love He took my sinful place,
And bore my shame and guilt:
They nailed Him to the cruel tree,
And there He tasted death for me,
That I might live eternally,—
O praise His name!
3. And now in heav’n He waits for me
Till life’s short way is o’er;
Ere long His beauty I shall see
Upon His golden shore:
O how I long for that blest day,
When He shall come to rule for aye,
To wipe all sin and fears away!
O praise His name!
(Chorus) O wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, love of Jesus,
I’ll sing of His majesty o’er and o’er;
His glory and honor my song shall be,
On earth and on that golden shore;
O wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, love of Jesus,
I’ll sing of His majesty o’er and o’er;
Almighty is He! His praises shall be My theme forevermore.
