Lyrics

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,

what wondrous love is this, O my soul?

What wondrous love is this that brings my heart such bliss,

and takes away the pain of my soul, of my soul,

and takes away the pain of my soul.

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,

when I was sinking down, sinking down,

when I was sinking down beneath my sorrows ground,

friends to me gather’d round, O my soul, O my soul,

friends to me gather’d round, O my soul.

To love and to all friends I will sing, I will sing,

to love and to all friends I will sing.

To love and to all friends who pain and sorrow mend,

with thanks unto the end I will sing, I will sing,

with thanks unto the end I will sing.
