Hymnal: Elmhurst Hymnal #88 (1921) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 What a strange and wondrous story
From the book of God is read,
How the Lord of life and glory
Had not where to lay His head;
How He left His throne in heaven,
There to suffer, bleed and die,
That my soul might be forgiven,
And ascend to God on high.
2 While I bless the Hand which gave me
Life and health and all things here,
O may He who died to save me,
To my soul be very dear.
Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour,
Let me not ungrateful be;
Let thy words and my behavior
Prove I love and honor Thee.
3 Father, let Thy Holy Spirit
Still reveal a Saviour’s love,
And prepare me to inherit
Glory, where He reigns above.
There with saints and angels dwelling,
May I that great love proclaim,
And with them be ever telling
All the wonders of His name. Topics: Christ Passion and Death; Life of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY (ENGLISH)
