It Is a Thing Most Wonderful
"We love him, because he first loved us."-1 john 4:29
VERSE 1
It is a thing most wonderful,
Almost too wonderful to be,
That God's own Son should come from heaven
And die to save a child like me.
VERSE 2
And yet I know that it is true;
He came to this poor world below,
And wept and toiled and mourned and died,
Only because He loved us so.
VERSE 3
I cannot tell how He could love
A child so weak and full of sin;
His love must be most wonderful,
If He could die my love to win.
VERSE 4
It is most wonderful to know
His love for me so free and sure;
But 'tis more wonderful to see
My love for Him so faint and poor.
VERSE 5
And yet I want to love Thee, Lord:
Oh, light the flame within my heart,
And I will love Thee more and more
Until I see Thee as Thou art.
