1. Sing them over again to me, Wonderful words of Life; Let me more of their beauty see, Wonderful words of Life; Words of life and beauty Teach me faith and duty; 2. Christ, the blessed One, gives to all Wonderful words of Life; Sinner, list to the loving call, Wonderful words of Life; All so freely given, Wooing us to heaven; 3. Sweetly echo the gospel call, Wonderful words of Life; Offer pardon and peace to all, Wonderful words of Life; Jesus, only Savior, Sanctify forever; Chorus: Beautiful words, wonderful words, Wonderful words of Life. Beautiful words, wonderful words, Wonderful words of Life.
