Lyrics

Of the themes that men have known,
One supremely stands alone;
Through the ages it has shown,
’Tis His wonderful, wonderful love.

Refrain

Love is the theme, love is supreme;
Sweeter it grows, glo­ry bestows;
Bright as the sun ever it glows!
Love is the theme, eter­nal theme!

Let the bells of Hea­ven ring,
Let the saints their tribute bring,
Let the world true praises sing
For His wonderful, wonderful love.

Refrain

Since the Lord my soul unbound,
I am telling all around
Pardon, peace and joy are found
In His wonderful, wonderful love.

Refrain

As of old when blind and lame
To the blessèd Mas­ter came,
Sinners, call upon His name,
Trust His wonderful, wonderful love.
