Author: Charles H. Gabriel, d. 1932 Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #304 (1957) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Refrain First Line: O how marvelous! O how wonderful! Lyrics: 1 I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
Refrain:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! how wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me!
2 For me it was in the garden
He prayed, "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 sorrow,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone. [Refrain]
5 When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me. [Refrain] Scripture: Romans 5:8-11 Tune Title: HOW MARVELOUS
I Stand Amazed in the Presence
