(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Born among cattle, in poverty sore,
Living in meekness by Galilee’s shore,
Dying in shame as the/ wicked one’s swore;
Jesus, wonderful Lord!
CHORUS
Wonderful, wonderful Jesus!
He is my friend, true to the end;
He gave Himself to redeem me —
Jesus, wonderful Lord!
2
Weary — yet He is the world’s only rest,
Hungry and thirsty — with plenty has blest,
Tempted — He promises grace for each test:
Jesus, wonderful Lord!
CHORUS
3
Friend of the friendless — betrayed and denied,
Help of the weak — in Gethsemane cried,
Light of the world — in gross darkness He died:
Jesus, wonderful Lord!
CHORUS
