 1.  I stand amazed in the presence 
        of Jesus the Nazarene,
     and wonder how He could love me,
        a sinner, condemned, unclean.

   Refrain
     How marvelous! how wonderful!
          O, how marvelous!    Oh, how wonderful!
     And my song shall ever be;
     How Marvelous! how wonderful!
          O, how marvelous!    Oh, how wonderful!
     Is my Savior's love for me!

 2.  For me it was in the garden
        He prayed: "not My will but Thine."
     He had no tears for His own griefs
        but sweat drops of blood for mine.

   Refrain

 3.  In pity, angels beheld Him
        and came from the world of light
     to comfort Him in the sorrows
        He bore for my soul that night.

   Refrain

 4.  He took my sins and my sorrows,
        He made them His very own;
     He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
        and suffered and died alone.

 5.  When, with the ransomed in glory,
        His face I at last shall see,
     'Twill be my joy thro' the ages
        to sing of His love for me.

   Refrain
