Lyrics

1. How often do I wonder that Christ could love me so, but never can I answer why He such love should show. It passes understanding, outreaching human thought, that He, the Lord of glory my soul with blood has bought.
2. Most wondrous love and mercy that Christ from heaven came; that He, for man's redemption, would suffer death and shame, that Christ so loved transgressors and shed His precious blood, that He would die for sinners among whom once I stood.
3. I never will forget Him, the cross of Calvary. Forever will I love Him who gave His life for me. O help me, blessed Saviour, to keep Your cross in view, within Your love e'er hide me and thus my love renew.
