What Wondrous Love Is This – Hymn with Contemplative Meaning

This hymn is often little-known in our circles; however, I believe its message is one worthy of mention.

The following are the words to the first verse:

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 caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

Wow! – Impactful . . . Right?

(For music theory aficionados, this is a hymn written in the dorian mode.)

Where to find:
The Baptist Hymnal (1991 edition) #143

The Seven Last Words of Christ

This post contains music of a different genre than typically posted here; however, I know many of you are familiar with this work and will appreciate and/ or reminisce on it.

I am so appreciative of Mr. Dubois’ portrayal of Christ’s atoning sacrifice for our sins.

One of the phrase of this music that sticks with me is the quote of “He is death, guilty. He is death, guilty.” Wow! People whom Christ LOVED were throwing those accusations at Him.
