WHAT WONDROUS LOVE Sung by: Almeda Riddle Recorded in Miller, AR 9/10/60 Click here to listen to the original recording Oh my soul, oh my soul? What a wondrous love is this, Oh my soul? What a wondrous love is this, That caused the Lord of bliss To bear the sinful 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. Ye winged seraphs fly, Bear the news, bear the news. Ye winged seraphs fly, Bear the news. Ye winged seraphs fly, Like comets through the sky. Fill vast eternity With the news, with the news. Fill vast eternity With the news. To God and to his lamb I will sing, I will sing. To God and to his lamb I will sing. To God and to the lamb, Unto the great I Am, While millions join the theme, I'll sing on, I'll sing on. While millions join the theme, I'll sing on. Ye friends of Zion's king, Join the praise, join the praise. Ye friends of Zion's king, Join the praise. Ye friends of Zion's king With hearts and voices sing. And strike each tuneful string In his praise, in his praise. And strike each tuneful string In his praise. |
