"God's Wonderful Love" (1878) Hymn Words by Rev. J. B Atchinson Music by Thomas Martin Towne (1835-1916) [Cincinnati: John Chuch & Co.] Boston: Solomon W. Straub [1842-1899] [Source: reprinted from "International Lesson Hymnal" by David C. Cook; page 114 from "The (Enlarged) Morning Light!" by Solomon W. Straub] 1. ’Tis love, ’tis love, ’tis wonderful love! ’Twas God’s great love for me, That sent the Savior from above, My soul from sin to free! 2. ’Tis love, ’tis love, ’tis wonderful love! That fills my soul today; ’Tis love that follows where I rove, That seeks me when I stray. 3. ’Tis love, ’tis love, ’tis wonderful love! That casteth out all fear; ’Tis love that doth my song approve, And whispers, “I am near.” 4. ’Tis love, ’tis love, ’tis wonderful love! Will take me home at last, To sing love’s praise thro’ endless days, When trials all are past. CHORUS [sung after each VERSE] Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love, Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love, That sent the Savior from above, My soul from sin to free.
