Such Love and Grace

Author: Rev. E. A. Hoffman Hymnal: Melodies of Salvation #199 (1901) First Line: What a wonderful Saviour is Jesus to me Refrain First Line: Can such love and such grace Lyrics: 1 What a wonderful Saviour is Jesus to me, To redeem me and save me from sin, To transform my dark heart to a temple of grace, And to take up His dwelling therein! Chorus: Can such love and such grace Be for me, even me? Yes, He followed me on till my soul He had won, And He daily grows dearer to me. 2 I had wandered afar from the fold of His love, But was still in the reach of His grace; For He followed me on till my soul He had won, And I live in the smiles of His face. [Chorus] 3 On my pathway there shines the bright sunshine of heav’n; In my soul is God’s wonderful peace; Oh, I never had known that a poor human heart Could be happy and blessed as this! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [What a wonderful Saviour is Jesus to me]
