What Wondrous Love Is This

‘‘See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God.’’ | 1 John 3:1

American folk hymn
Arranged for clarinet and cello by Anna Schnitzer

What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul,
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

When I was sinking down,
Sinking down, sinking down
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
Beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
For my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing, I will sing,
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb,
Who is the great “I AM,”
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing,
While millions join the theme, I will sing!

And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on
And through eternity I’ll sing on!
