Wonderful Savior! We worship before Thee,
Jehovah Almighty―Eternal "I am!”
This we confess, while our hearts still adore
Thee, As, washed in Thy blood, we cry, "Worthy the Lamb!”
Wonderful Jesus! The Babe in the manger,
Though born of the virgin, Thy nature all clean;
Thine was the kingdom, yet counted a stranger,
Thy welcome how cold! And Thy lodging how mean!
Wonderful Person! The Son of the Father;
Known only to Him can this mystery be;
We may not fathom its meaning, the rather
Our face we veil, as we think upon Thee.
Wonderful, too, in Thy manifestation,
Revealing the Father, declaring His name;
Who but Thyself, to procure our salvation,
God's justice could meet, and His love could proclaim?
Wonderful price of eternal redemption;
Oh! marvelous work, with which none can compare!
Precious the blood that has bought our exemption
From judgment, which else we forever must bear.
Wonderful Object of worship in heaven!
Unspeakable gift from the heart of our God!
Countless the blessings with Thee which are given
To sinners, made nigh to Himself by Thy blood.
Wonderful Savior! We love to adore Thee,
And blessed the hope that ere long Thou wilt come;
Then we shall see all Thy beauty and glory,
And praise Thee up there in Thy wonderful home.
