This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,

Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me;

I tremble to know that for me He was crucified,

That for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled and died.

 

O it is wonderful that He should care for me

Enough to die for me!

O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

 
 2 

I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine

To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine;

That He should extend His great love unto such as I,

Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

 

O it is wonderful that He should care for me

Enough to die for me!

O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

 
 3 

I think of His side, pierced and bleeding to pay the debt,

Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?

No, no! I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,

And testify all my desires He doth fully meet.

 

O it is wonderful that He should care for me

Enough to die for me!

O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
