Wondrous Love - Cantus

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!

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!

And when from death we’re free,

we’ll sing on, we’ll sing on,

And when from death we’re free,

we’ll sing on.

And when from death we’re free,

we’ll sing and joyful be,

and in eternity

we’ll sing on, we’ll sing on,

and in eternity

we’ll sing on.
