Author: W. J. Kennedy Hymnal: Gospel Herald in Song #50 (1899) First Line: On the mountains of sin I once wandered Refrain First Line: O such wonderful love Lyrics: 1 On the mountains of sin I once wandered,
I was far away from my God;
Then my time and my talents I squandered,
And in sin’s broad pathway I trod.
Refrain:
O such wonderful love
Coming down from above,
And stood in my poor, guilty place;
From the mountains of sin,
He gathered me in,
O wonderful, wonderful grace.
2 But a voice in my heart kept entreating,
Poor soul, come, O come to thy God;
That sweet voice I could hear still repeating,
O will you not trust in my blood? [Refrain]
3 Sweet and low were the tones of His pleading,
O will you not come unto me?
All the blessings thy poor soul is needing,
I freely will give unto thee. [Refrain]
4 Then to Jesus I went, sin confessing,
My burden from off me did roll;
His free pardon and peace then possessing,
Joy flooded the depths of my soul. [Refrain]
5 Ever since that glad day I’ve been doing
The work God appoints unto me;
Still with joy the way upward pursuing,
Till His face in glory I see. [Refrain] Topics: Grace; Love Scripture: John 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: [On the mountains of sin I once wandered]
