Hymn 164: What a wonderful, wonderful Saviour,

Verse 1

What a wonderful, wonderful 

Saviour,

Who would die on the cross for[me!

Freely shedding His precious life-  [free

That the sinner might be made

 

 

He was nail’d to the cross for me,

He was nail’d to the cross for me,

On the cross crucified,

For me He died:

He was nail’d to the cross for me.

 

Verse 2

Thus He left His heavenly glory

To accomplish His Father’s plan:

He was born of the Virgin Mary,

Took upon Him the form man.

 

Verse 3

He was wounded for our transgressions,

And He carried our sorrows too;

He’s the Healer of every sickness, 

This He came to the world to do.

 

Verse 4

So He gave His life for others 

In redeeming this world from sin,

And He’s gone to prepare a mansion,

That at last we may enter in,
