It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be ; [heaven, That God's own Son should come from And die to save a child like me.
2. And yet I know that it is true : He chose a poor and humble lot, [died, And wept, and toiled, and mourned, and For love of those who loved Him not.
3. I cannot tell how He could love A child so weak and full of sin ; His love must be most wonderful, If He could die my love to win.
4. It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; But 'tis more wonderful to see My love for Him so faint and poor.
5. And yet I want to love Thee, Lord ; Oh, light the flame within my heart, And I will love Thee more and more, Until I see Thee as Thou art.
