Verse 1
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul? What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul;
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul
Verse 2
To God and to the Lamb I will sing,
I will sing; To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing; To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I am, While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing; While millions join the theme, I will sing.
Verse 3
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free,
I'll sing and joyful be, And through eternity
I'll sing on, I'll sing on! And through eternity, I'll sing on
