Refrain: Is it not wonderful, is it not wonderful Jesus so gracious should be? Yes, it is wonderful, strange and so wonderful, That He should pardon and save even me! 2 Heart of mine never could know Jesus such peace could bestow, Till the dear Saviour show'd me His favor, Cleansed my heart whiter than snow. [Refrain] 3 Once I was full of all sin, Now, thro’ the blood, I am clean; Willing to save me, pardon He gave me, And I am happy within. [Refrain] 4 Long I resisted His grace, In my heart gave Him no place, But Jesus sought me till He had bro't me, Penitent, seeking His face. [Refrain] 5 He doth my new heart control, Cleansing and keeping me whole, Banishing sadness, with joy and gladness Filling and thrilling my soul.
