of Jesus, the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean.
Chorus:
How marvellous, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvellous, how wonderful
is my Saviour’s love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows;
he made them his very own;
he bore the burden to Calvary
and suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory
his face I at last shall see,
’twill be my joy through the ages
to sing of his love for me.

Lyrics
I stand amazed in the presenceof Jesus, the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean.
Chorus:
How marvellous, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvellous, how wonderful
is my Saviour’s love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows;
he made them his very own;
he bore the burden to Calvary
and suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory
his face I at last shall see,
’twill be my joy through the ages
to sing of his love for me.
