My tongue Thy mercy is telling;
I’ve found Thy love so precious to me,
My heart with its rapture is swelling.
Refrain:
Wonderful love! O wonderful love!
Sing of its fullness forever;
I’ve found the way that leadeth to life,
The way to the beautiful river.
2 I came to Thee o’erburdened with care,
My guilt with sorrow confessing;
’Twas love, Thy love that banished my fear,
And gave me for sadness, a blessing. [Refrain]
3 To Thee, my hope and refuge divine,
My faith is fervently clinging,
And every hour some token of love,
New joy to my spirit is bringing. [Refrain]
4 I look beyond this valley of tears,
Where Thou, a mansion preparing,
Wilt call me home forever with Thee,
The bliss of the glorified sharing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: CORDOVA Text Sources: Winnowed Songs by Ira D. Sankey (New York: Biglow & Main, 1890)
