Lyrics:
|
Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life;
Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life; Words of life and beauty, teach me faith and duty. Refrain: Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life; Beautiful words, wonderful words,wonderful words of life. Christ, the blessed One, gives to all, wonderful words of life; Sinner, list to the loving call, wonderful words of life; All so freely given, wooing us to heaven. Sweetly echo the gospel call, wonderful words of life; Offer pardon and peace to all, wonderful words of life; Jesus, only Savior, sanctify forever. |
