Wonderous Love

The wonders of redeeming love
Our highest thoughts exceed;
The son of God comes from above
For sinful man to bleed

He gives Himself, His life, His all,
A sinless sacrifice.
For man He drains the cup of gall,
For man the victim dies.

And now before His Father's Face
His precious blood He pleads;
fore those who seek the throne of grace
His love still intercedes.

He knows the frailties of our frame,
Fore He has borne our greif;
Our great Highh Priest once felt the same,
And He can send rellief.

His love will not be satisfied,
Till he in glory sees
the faithful ones for whom He died
From sin forever free.
