WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL JESUS

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God." Psalms 40:3

Words: Anna Belle Russell (1862-1954).
Music: "New Orleans," Ernest Orlando Sellers, 1921.

There is never a day so dreary,
There is never a night so long,
But the soul that is trusting in Jesus
Will somewhere find a song.

Refrain

Wonderful, wonderful Jesus,
In the heart He implanteth a song:
A song of deliverance, of courage, of strength,
In the heart He implanteth a song.

There is never a cross so heavy,
There is never a weight of woe,
But that Jesus will help to carry
Because He loveth so.

Refrain

There is never a care or burden,
There is never a grief or loss,
But that Jesus in love will lighten
When carried to the cross.

Refrain

There is never a guilty sinner,
There is never a wandering one,
But that God can in mercy pardon
Through Jesus Christ, His Son.
