Author: Charles H. Gabriel Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #294 (1974) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Hymnal Title: Hymns for the Living Church Refrain First Line: How marvelous! how wonderful! Lyrics: 1 I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Refrain:
How marvelous! how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! how wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!
2 For me it was in the garden
He prayed, "Not My will, but Thine;"
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine. (Refrain)
3 He took my sins and my sorrow,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
And suffered, and died alone. (Refrain)
4 When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Love of; Christ Passion; Christ Sacrifice; Christ Suffering; Testimony, Hymns of; Witness, Hymns of Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Languages: English Tune Title: MY SAVIOR'S LOVE
