What Wondrous Love!

What wondrous love: the Father's care
  Upon the lost world set His love—
Before all time, before despair,
  The lost He purposed for Above.
 
Chorus--
What Wondrous Love, that seeks the lost;
  What Wondrous Love that called to me.
He counted all and chose the cross:
  Triune His Love eternally!
 
What wondrous love: the Sov'reign Son
  Came humbled as a man to dwell;
On earth He lived til it was done—
  Our loving Lord Emmanuel.

[chorus]

What wondrous love: the Spirit came
  Frail souls to make alive and fill;
Now live, the dead—now walk, the lame—
  His purpose both to do and will;

[chorus]

What wondrous love: this triune Love,
  Sought us before we first loved Him,
Will bring us home to courts above—
  Made perfect without spot or sin!

[chorus]
