I Stand Amazed
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me, a sinner condemned unclean.
(Chorus)
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden, He prayed, “Not My will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs, but sweat drops of blood for mine.
(Chorus)
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!
In pity angels beheld Him, and came from the world of light
To comfort Him in the sorrows, He bore for my soul that night.
(Chorus)
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.
(Chorus)
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!
When with the ransomed in glory, His face I at last shall see,
‘Twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me.
(Chorus)
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!

Thanks for posting Charles Gabriel’s beautiful hymn, “My Saviour’s Love” (“I stand amazed in the presence…”) Today is the anniversary of his birth in 1856. To learn more about him and other hymn writers, I invite you to check out my daily blog, Wordwise Hymns.
