O it is Wonderful! (Canaan Melodies #51)

A radiant hymn of salvation and grace, rescued from obscurity and brought back to life as an uplifting rolling 6/4 ballad. The repeated cry "O it is wonderful!" captures the joyful wonder at the heart of worship!

1 O it is wonderful! When I was drearily
Wandering far in the gloom of the night
Christ the Good Shepherd came calling so cheerily
Bringing me into His marvellous light

Refrain:
O it is wonderful, glorious and wonderful!
Love’s blessed banner shall over me wave
O it is wonderful, glorious and wonderful!
Jesus is mighty to save

2 O it is wonderful! Safely enfolding me
With the strong arms of his infinite grace
“Moment by moment” so kindly upholding me
Shedding upon me the light of His face  

3 O it is wonderful! Keeping and hiding me
From evil foes that my soul would ensnare
All that I need He is richly providing me
Bidding me cast upon Him every care

 4 O it is wonderful! Still He is leading me
In the green pastures of mercy and love
By the still waters abundantly feeing me
Leading me on to His glory above
