The writer of the lyrics of this American folk hymn, written in 1835 is unknown.
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.
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. [2 Corinthians 5:14]
