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
