Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

I stand amazed in the presence

of Jesus the Nazarene,

And wonder how he could love me,

a sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain:

How marvelous! How wonderful!

And my song shall ever be:

How marvelous! How wonderful

is my Savior’s love for me!

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

For me it was in the garden

he prayed, “Not my will, but thine”;

He had no tears for his own griefs,

but sweat-drops of blood for mine. [Refrain]

Verse 3

In pity angels beheld him

and came from the world of light

To comfort him in the sorrows

he bore for my soul that night. [Refrain]

Verse 4

He took my sins and my sorrows,

he made them his very own;

He bore the burden of Calv’ry,

and suffered and died alone. [Refrain]

Verse 5

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. [Refrain]
