| 1. Wondrous it seemeth to me
Jesus so gracious should be,
Mercy revealing, comforting, healing,
Blessing a sinner like me.
Refrain.
Is it not wonderful, is it not wonderful
Jesus so gracious should be?
Yes, it is wonderful,
strange and so wonderful
That He should pardon
and save even me!
2. Heart of mine never could know
Jesus such peace could bestow,
Till the dear Savior
showed me His favor,
Cleansed my heart whiter than snow.
Refrain.
Is it not wonderful, is it not wonderful
Jesus so gracious should be?
Yes, it is wonderful,
strange and so wonderful
That He should pardon
and save even me!
3. Once I was full of all sin,
Now thro’ the blood I am clean;
Willing to save me,
pardon He gave me,
And I am happy within.
Refrain.
Is it not wonderful, is it not wonderful
Jesus so gracious should be?
Yes, it is wonderful,
strange and so wonderful
That He should pardon
and save even me!
4. He doth my new heart control,
Cleansing and keeping me whole,
Banishing sadness,
with joy and gladness
Filling and thrilling my soul.
Refrain.
Is it not wonderful, is it not wonderful
Jesus so gracious should be?
Yes, it is wonderful,
strange and so wonderful
That He should pardon
and save even me!
