The Voice of Thanksgiving ‎#116

116. O Wondrous Love!

1 A light shines on my pilgrim way,
That once to me was dim,
And earth seems bright where-e’er I stray
Since I am led by Him,
By Him in who I place my trust;
For shelter now I flee
To Him who knows I am but dust—
Jesus who died for me!

Refrain:
O wondrous love vouchsafed for me,
When Jesus died on Calvary!
In Him I trust, to Him I flee,
And ‘tis enough He died for me!

2 O boundless is His love divine,
Amazing is His grace;
Lo, I am His, and He is mine,
And I shall see His face!
O blessed thought, when day is done
My spirit shall be free;
Through Him the vict’ry shall be won,
For Jesus died for me! [Refrain]

3 At morn, or noon, or yet at night,
Perchance His voice shall call;
And when my spirit takes its flight
To where no tears shall fall.
Still trusting in the love divine,
Through all eternity,
I’ll sing His praise, whose peace is mine,
For Jesus died for me! [Refrain]
