1 Wonderful is the Saviour, hear the angels sing;
Wonderful is the Saviour, wise men tributes bring;
Wonderful is the Saviour, I have crown’d Him King;
Wonderful is the Saviour now to me.

Refrain:
Wonderful is the Saviour, wonderful now to me;
Purchasing peace and pardon, all so full and free;
Shedding His precious life-blood on the cursed tree;
Wonderful is the Saviour now to me.

2 Wonderful is the Saviour on a stormy sea;
Wonderful is the Saviour “Peace, be still,” said He;
Wonderful is the Saviour, ev’ry wave did stay;
Wonderful is the Saviour now to me. [Refrain]

3 Wonderful is the Saviour when I’m in despair,
Wonderful is the Saviour He is always there;
Wonderful is the Saviour, cast on Him your care;
Wonderful is the Saviour now to me. [Refrain]

4 Wonderful is the Saviour in Gethsemane;
Wonderful is the Saviour dying on the tree;
Wonderful is the Saviour, it was all for me;
Wonderful is the Saviour now to me. [Refrain]

5 Wonderful is the Saviour, I was lost in sin;
Wonderful is the Saviour, stoop’d and took me in;
Wonderful is the Saviour, now His praise begin;
Wonderful is the Saviour now to me. [Refrain]
