1. Jesus, and didst Thou didst leave the sky,
To bear our griefs and woes?
And didst Thou bleed, and groan and die,
For Thy rebellious foes?
Chorus:
O ’twas wonderful, wonderful love,
That brought Him form heaven above,
As a ransom to die on the tree,
To save a poor sinner like me.
2. Well might the heav’ns with wonder view
A love so strange as thine!
No thought of angels ever knew
Compassion so divine!
3. Is there a heart that will not bend
To Thy divine control?
Descend, O Sovereign Love, descend,
And melt that stubborn soul.
4. O may our willing hearts confess
Thy sweet, Thy gentle sway;
Glad captives of Thy matchless grace,
Thy righteous rule obey.
