Lyrics
It is a thing most wonderful
Almost too wonderful to be
That God's own Son should come from heav'n
And die to save a child like me
And yet I know that it is true
He chose a poor and humble lot
And wept and toiled and mourned and died
For love of those who loved Him not
I sometimes think about the cross
And shut my eyes and try to see
The cruel nails and crown of thorns
And Jesus crucified for me
But even could I see Him die
I should not see a little part
Of that great love which I have found
Is always burning in His heart
And yet I want to love Thee more
O light the flame within my heart
And I will love Thee more and more
Until I see Thee as Thou art
