"Wonderful"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in long meter)

"Wonderful"

1. What wonders in my Saviour meet!
His head -- His hands -- His side - His feet
Present to my astonish'd view,
Eternal glories, ever new.

2. Poor and despis'd - yet rich and lov'd---
Humble to death - His throne unmov'd---
A servant - and a sov'reign Lord---
Revil'd, and murder'd - yet ador'd.

3. Pardon and life are His to give---
He died that all His church might live---
Became a curse, yet deigns to bless;
He is the Lord our Righteousness.

4. He had not where to lay His head,
Although the worlds were by Him made;
He hunger'd - though He thousands fed----
Sinless - and yet for sin He bled.

5. The Father's co-eternal Son---
The Friend of sinners (though undone)
The portion all believers crave---
He's Man to suffer - God to save!
