Hymn - I Stand Amazed in the Presence

I Stand Amazed in the Presence

Charles H. Gabriel, 1856 - 1932

Stanza 1:

I stand amazed in the presence

Of Jesus the Nazarene,

And wonder how he could love me,

A sinner, condemned, unclean. 

Refrain:

How marvelous! How wonderful!

And my song shall ever be:

How marvelous! How wonderful

Is my Savior's love for me! 

Stanza 2:

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. 

Refrain:

Stanza 3:

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. 

Refrain:

Stanza 4:

He took my sins and my sorrows,

He made them His very own;

He bore the burden to Calvary,

And suffered and died alone. 

Refrain:

Stanza 5:

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. 

Refrain:
