Author: Mrs. A. H. Dixon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12511 First Line: Wonderful beyond all telling Refrain First Line: Children of the King are we Lyrics: 1 Wonderful beyond all telling Is the love the Father bears, Every human love excelling, T’ward the creatures of His care. Have I heard aright the story, Of the precious gift He gave? How He sent His Son from glory, Our poor dying souls to save? Refrain: Children of the King are we, Royalty possessing, Bonds are broken, we are free, With His choicest blessing. 2 All the years since the creation Have been guided by His love; Every tribe and every nation Owes its strength to God above; But the love which gave us Jesus Was the crowning love divine; Gilds our work with a new glory, Makes the Christian life to shine. [Refrain] 3 Thoughts of mercy had He for us, Ere we drew our earthly breath; Mercy still will be about us, When we close our eyes in death; Let us give Him, then, forever, Praise from young hearts all aglow, Love our God, and love each other, For He loved us first, you know. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Wonderful beyond all telling]
