<poem>
1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse, for my soul.
 
2. When I was sinking down,
Beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown,  for my soul.
 
3. To God, and to the Lamb, I will sing,
Unto the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
 
4. And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on,
I'll sing, and joyful be,
And through eternity
And through eternity I'll sing on.
</poem>
