It is a thing most wonderful - Herongate
It is a thing most wonderful
Almost too wonderful to be,
That God's own Son should come from heav'n,
And die to save a child like me.
And yet I know that it is true:
He chose a poor and humble lot,
And wept and toiled and mourned and died
For love of those who loved Him not.
But even could I see Him die,
I could but see a little part
Of that great love which, like a fire,
Is always burning in His heart.
It is most wonderful to know
His love for me so free and sure;
But 'tis more wonderful to see
my love for him so faint and poor.
And yet I want to love Thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
And I will love Thee more and more,
Until I see Thee as Thou art.
