Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear]8.6.8.6.D
1The wonders of redeeming love
Our highest thoughts exceed;
The Son of God comes from above
Above for sinful man to bleed.
2He gives Himself, His life,
His all, a face frame,
He now before His Father's
A His Father's throne Till
3And now be-fore the frail
His precious blood
For those who seek the
Precious blood He plea,
For great ones
The faith-ful once for
4He knows His fra-il ties
He has in glory
Our great High Priest,
The faith-ful one for
5His love will not be satisfied
Till He is our till He can send relief,
From whom a-the vic-tim intercedes,
From whom for-ev-er free.
