O listen to our won­drous sto­ry,
Counted once among the lost;
Yet One came down from Hea­ven’s glo­ry,
Saving us at aw­ful cost!

Refrain

Who saved us from eter­nal loss?
Who but God’s Son up­on the cross?
What did He do? He died for you!
Where is He now? In Hea­ven in­ter­ced­ing!

No an­gel could His place have tak­en,
Highest of the high though He;
The loved One on the cross for­sak­en,
Was One of the God­head three!

Refrain

And yet this won­drous tale pro­ceed­eth,
Stirring heart and tongue aflame!
As our high priest in Heav’n He plead­eth,
And Christ Je­sus is His name!

Refrain

Will you sur­ren­der to this Sav­ior?
To His scep­ter humb­ly bow?
You, too, shall come to know His fa­vor,
He will save you, save you now.
