171. 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 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.

3 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.

4 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 through eternity, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
and through eternity, I’ll sing on.
