1 When I was far away and lost,
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
That I was saved at such a cost!
Oh, 'tis wonderful!

Refrain:
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
That Jesus gave his life for me!
Oh, 'tis wonderful!

2 I once was blind, but now I see;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Was bound by sin but now am free;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!

3 My guilt was all I had to bring;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Yet I was made his love to sing;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!

4 Come, sinner, now, and seek his grace,
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
And find in him a resting-place;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
