The New Church Hymnal ‎#58

58. My Saviour's Love

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

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

2 For me it was in the garden
He pray'd; "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 suffer'd, and died alone. [Refrain]

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