I Stand Amazed

223 I Stand Amazed

1. I stand amazed in the presence
   Of Jesus the Nazarene,
   And wonder how He could love me,
   A sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain:
   How marvelous! how wonderful!
   And my song shall ever be;
   How marvelous! how wonderful!
   Is my Savior's love for me!

2. For me it was in the garden
   He prayed, "Not my will, but Thine;"
   He had no tears for His own griefs,
   But sweat drops of blood for mine. [Refrain]

3. In pity, angels beheld him,
   And came from the world of light
   To comfort him in the sorrows
   He bore for my soul that night. [Refrain]

4. He took my sins and my sorrows,
   He made them his very own;
   He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
   And suffered, and died alone. [Refrain]

5. When with the ransomed in glory
   His face I at last shall see,
   'Twill be my joy thro' the ages
   To sing of His love for me. [Refrain]
