What Wondrous Love Is This!

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 blissTo bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down.
When I was sinking down Beneath God’s righteous frown,Christ laid aside His crown for my soul for my soul,Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
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.
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 His love for me,And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,And through eternity I’ll sing on.
— Appalachian Mountain Folk Hymn (circa 1811)

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
— John 3:16 NKJV
