1 Love, wonderful love of God,
So boundless, so free;
To think that Christ His only Son
Should die on Calvary;
Oh love so great, so vast, so high,
That He should for the sinner die.

Refrain:
Love, wonderful love,
The love of Christ to me,
Love, wonderful love,
So rich, so full, so free;
Wide, wide as the ocean,
Deep, deep as the sea,
High, high as the heav’ns above,
His love to me.

2 Love, wonderful love of God,
To me has been made known;
To me the Spirit freely gives
And claims me for His Own;
O love so wondrous, so divine,
That I am His and He is mine. [Chorus]

3 Love, wonderful love of God,
With joy I now proclaim
To sinners lost that they may have
Salvation thro' His name;
That they may now with others prove,
Christ's dying and undying love. [Chorus]
