LyicsThe wondrous love of Jesus,
From doubts and fears he frees us,
With pitying eyes he sees us,
While toiling here below;
Thro' tribulation driven,
We make our way to heaven,
By consolation given,
Rejoicing on we go.
Companions now distressed,
By Satan sore oppressed,
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 Eden, gain'd by pardon,
Beyond the floods of Jordan,
We'll praise the great I AM;
And sign the song of Moses,
While Jesus Christ composes
The song that never closes;
Sing praises to the Lamb.
