318. Wonderful Story

1 I came to the Saviour, sad and undone,
Still naught that I offered for sins could atone;’
His blood can redeem me, shed once on the tree,
So fully and freely, availeth for me.

Refrain:
O wonderful story, of Jesus, the King,
Who left heaven’s glory, salvation to bring;
He purchas’d my pardon on Calvary’s tree,
Now thro’ the atonement, I’m happy and free.

2 Thro’ faith in the blood, I’m cleans’d from all sin,
My Lord, in His fullness, abideth within,
O wonderful Saviour, such peace to bestow,
Now finding my journey, a heaven below. [Refrain]

3 O blessed Redeemer, be e’er my guide,
Thro’ shadow and sunshine, walk close by my side;
I’ll cling to Thee ever, whatever befall,
I’ll trust in Thee, alway, my all and in all. [Refrain]
