LyicsThe wondrous love of Jesus,
From doubts and fears he frees us,
With pitying eyes he sees us
A toiling here below;
Thro' tribulation driven,
We make our way to heaven;
By consolation given,
Rejoicing on we go.
Companions now distress'd,
By Satan sore oppress'd,
Cheer up, you'll be deliver'd,
Your Captain is at hand;
In ev'ry trying hour
He'll save you by his power,
And bring you safe to heaven,
To Canaan's happy land.
O! yonder is the glory!
It is but just before you,
And there we'll tell the story
Of Christ's redeeming love;
And there we shall forever
Drink of the flowing river,
For ever and for ever
Surround the throne above.
All in the blooming garden
Of Edn, gain'd by pardon;
Beyond the floods of Jordan
We'll praise the great I AM;
And sing the song of Moses,
While Jesus Christ composes
The song that never closes,
Sing praises to the Lamb.
