Offertory Anthem What Wondrous Love Is This
Appalachian Folk Hymn, arr. Trevor Manor
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul?

When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down Beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing,

While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing!
