101. It Is a Thing Most Wonderful

1 It is a thing most wonderful,
Almost too wonderful to be,
That God’s own Son should come from Heaven,
And die to save a child like me.

2 I cannot tell how He could love
A child so weak and full of sin;
His love must be most wonderful,
If He could die my love to win.

3 Teach me to love Thee more, dear lord;
Oh, light the flame within my heart,
And I will love Thee more and more
Until I see Thee as Thou art.
