Wonderful Savior, my blessed Redeemer, Leaving a mansion of splendor He came, Bringing salvation for souls that are dying, Meekly to suffer in sorrow and shame.
Refrain 1-3: Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior, Dying alone on the sin-cursed tree; Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior, Dying to purchase salvation for me.
Wonderful Savior, my blessed Redeemer, Suff’ring in shame with a thief on the cross; Pierced by the ones that He suffered to ransom, Dying to save them from infinite loss.
Wonderful Savior, my blessed Redeemer, Resting at last in the shades of the tomb; Homeless in life and in death now forsaken, Shrouded in darkness, in stillness and gloom.
Wonderful Savior, my blessed Redeemer, Bursting asunder the bars of the grave; Scatt’ring the gloom and dispelling the darkness, Reigning forever, the Mighty to save.
Refrain 4: Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior, Mighty from sin and from sorrow to save; Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior, Rising in triumph o’er death and the grave.
