How wonderful ! Jehovah spake,
“Light” into being came,
And countless worlds, at His behest,
His wisdom did proclaim ;
The “Morning stars together sang,”
God’s sons did shout for joy ;
While angel hosts obey’d His word,
Such was their sweet employ.
How wonderful ! The Mighty God
Should care for even me,
How wonderful! His Blessed Son
Should die to set me free:
How wonderful the work He did,
The sacrifice He made;
How wonderful that by His blood
May ransom price was paid!
How wonderful the love God sheds
Abroad within my heart;
How wonderful His Spirit’s power,
Which now He doth impart;
How wonderful the daily grace,
That keeps me on the road,
How wonderful the peace within,
For ‘tis “the peace of God”!
How wonderful the place to which
He drew my willing feet;
How wonderful to worship now
Before the “Mercy-Seat”;
How wonderful those Glory-rays
Which light my pathway home;
How still more “Wonderful” His Name,
Who all these things hath done!
My God, I worship and adore
The grace that made me Thine,
For, like Thy Christ, I soon shall be,
Yea, in His image shine:—
How wonderful to dwell with Him,
Who put my sins away,
And sing for ever of His love,
Through God’s eternal day!

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
“Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
“Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live.”
(Isa. 55:1-31Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 3Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah 55:1‑3)).
“Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.”
