| 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!
|
| Ye winged seraphs fly,
|
| Bear the news, bear the news!
|
| Ye winged seraphs fly
|
| Bear the news!--
|
| Ye winged seraphs fly,
|
| like comets through the sky,
|
| fill vast eternity!
|
| With the news, with the news!
|
| Fill vast eternity
|
| With the news!
|
| And when from death we’re free,
|
| we’ll sing on, we’ll sing on,
|
| And when from death we’re free,
|
| we’ll sing on.
|
| And when from death we’re free,
|
| we’ll sing and joyful be,
|
| and in eternity
|
| we’ll sing on, we’ll sing on,
|
| and in eternity
|
| we’ll sing on. |
