| 1. Come let us sing
of a wonderful love,
|:Tender and true;
:|
Out of the heart of the Father above,
Streaming to me and to you;
|:Wonderful love
:|
Dwells in the heart
of the Father above.
2. Jesus, the Saviour,
this Gospel to tell,
|:Joyfully came;
:|
Came with the helpless
and hopeless to dwell,
Sharing their sorrow and shame;
|:Seeking the lost,
:|
Saving, redeeming
at measureless cost.
3. Jesus is seeking
the wanderers yet;
|:Why do they roam?
:|
Love only waits to forgive and forget;
Home! weary wanderer, home!
|:Wonderful love,
:|
Dwells in the heart
of the Father above.
4. Come to my heart,
O Thou wonderful love,
|:Come and abide,
:|
Lifting my life till it rises above
Envy and falsehood and pride;
|:Seeking to be
:|
Lowly and humble, a learner of Thee.
