ENGLISH LYRICS: Wonderful story of love

Behold what manner of love that He loved us. I Joh.3:1

1.  Wonderful story of love
    Tell it to me again
    Wonderful story of love
    Wake the immortal strain,
    Angels with rapture announce it
    Shepherd with wonder receive it,
    Sinner, O won't you believe it?
    Wonderful story of love.

Chorus:
    Wonderful! Wonderful!
    Wonderful!
    Wonderful story of love.

2. Wonderful story of love
    Though you are far away
    Wonderful story of love
    Still He doth call today
    Calling from Calvary's mountain
    Down from the crystal bright fountain
    E'en from the dawn of creation
    Wonderful story of love.

3. Wonderful story of love
    Jesus provides a rest
    Wonderful story of love
    For all the pure and bless
    Rest in those mansions above us
    With those who've gone on before us
    Singing the rapturous chorus
    Wonderful story of love.

Amen.
