What Wondrous Love Is This?

283 What Wondrous Love Is This?

1 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.

2 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;
   To God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
   To God and to the Lamb
   Who is the great "I Am";
   While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
   While millions join the theme, I will sing.

3 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
   And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.
   And when from death I'm free
   I'll sing and joyful be;
   And thro' eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
   And thro' eternity, I'll sing on.

Some versions insert a verse after verse 1:

2 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.
