11240. Wonderful Love

1 O Lord, my soul is happy in Thee,
My tongue Thy mercy is telling;
I’ve found Thy love so precious to me,
My heart with its rapture is swelling.

Refrain:
Wonderful love! O wonderful love!
Sing of its fullness forever;
I’ve found the way that leadeth to life,
The way to the beautiful river.

2 I came to Thee o’erburdened with care,
My guilt with sorrow confessing;
’Twas love, Thy love that banished my fear,
And gave me for sadness, a blessing. [Refrain]

3 To Thee, my hope and refuge divine,
My faith is fervently clinging,
And every hour some token of love,
New joy to my spirit is bringing. [Refrain]

4 I look beyond this valley of tears,
Where Thou, a mansion preparing,
Wilt call me home forever with Thee,
The bliss of the glorified sharing. [Refrain]
