Lyrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Verse 1<\/em>
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 bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 2<\/em>
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down beneath God\u2019s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 3<\/em>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 4<\/em>
And when from death I\u2019m free, I\u2019ll sing on, I\u2019ll sing on;
and when from death I\u2019m free, I\u2019ll sing on.
And when from death I\u2019m free, I\u2019ll sing his love for me,
and through eternity I\u2019ll sing on, I\u2019ll sing on,
and through eternity I\u2019ll sing on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
