Come, let us sing

Come, let us sing of a wonderful love,
tender and true;

out of the heart of the Father above,

streaming to me and to you:

wonderful love

dwells in the heart of the Father above.

Jesus, the Saviour, this gospel to tell,
joyfully came;
came with the helpless and hopeless to dwell,
sharing their sorrow and shame;

seeking the lost,

saving, redeeming at measureless cost.

Jesus is seeking the wanderers yet;
Why do they roam?
Love only waits to forgive and forget;
Home! weary wanderers, home!
Wonderful love
dwells in the heart of the Father above.

Come to my heart, O Thou wonderful love,
come and abide,
lifting my heart till it rises above
envy and falsehood and pride:
seeking to be
lowly and humble, a learner of Thee.
