Lyrics

Verse 1
I stand am­azed in the pre­sence
Of Je­sus the Na­za­rene, (Matt. 2:23)
And won­der how He could love me,
A sin­ner, con­demned, un­clean. (Rom. 5:8, Isa. 64:6)

Chorus
O how mar­vel­ous! O how won­der­ful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how mar­vel­ous! O how won­der­ful!
Is my Sav­ior’s love for me!

Verse 2
For me it was in the gar­den
He prayed: Not My will, but Thine. (Matt. 26:39, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42)
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine. (Luke 22:41-44)

Verse 3
In pi­ty an­gels be­held Him, (Luke 22:43)
And came from the world of light (I Tim. 6:16)
To com­fort Him in the sor­rows
He bore for my soul that night. (Isa. 53:4)

Verse 4
He took my sins and my sor­rows, (Isa. 53:4-6)
He made them His ve­ry own; (II Cor. 5:21, I Pet. 2:24)
He bore the bur­den to Cal­va­ry,
And suf­fered and died alone. (Ps. 22:1, Matt. 27:46, Mark 15:34)

Verse 5
When with the ran­somed in glo­ry
His face I at last shall see, (Rev. 22:4, I Cor. 13:12)
’Twill be my joy through the ag­es
To sing of His love for me.
