The regular readers of this blog will know that sometimes my choices are made because of the moving melody of the selection. This is the case again this week since I love the chorus in particular, with its flowing, upbeat melody. And the words also are special and a wonderful testimony.. In the first verse we are reminded of the peace which we experience when we yield to the Saviour's control. The second verse reminds us of His presence during our daily walk through His marvelous grace. As is very common in old hymns, the final verse speaks of the fellowship we will experience when we see our Lord face to face around His throne. Concluding hymns with a verse about the hope of heaven was important to the old hymn writers. And yes, what Jesus has done for our soul is marvelous and wonderful. No words can adequately share this situation. Once again, I could find nothing about the actual writing of this hymn except that it was penned by Mrs. Charles H. Morris (1862-1929). I have referred to her in previous blogs noting that when her eyes began to fail in 1913, her son built a 28-foot blackboard with oversized staff lines so she could continue composing. It is said that she authored more than 1,000 Gospel songs. This one must have flowed from her closeness to the Lord. Hopefully it will be a stirring reminder to you of the wonderful, marvelous experience of knowing and walking with the Lord.
(1) The Saviour has come in His mighty Power
And spoken peace to my soul
And all of my life from that very hour
I've yielded to his control {x2}
Wonderful oh it is wonderful
It is marvelous and wonderful
What Jesus has done for this soul of mine
The half has never been told
(2) From Glory to Glory he leads me on
From Grace to Grace every day
And brighter and brighter the Glory dawns
While pressing my home ward way {x2}
Wonderful oh it is wonderful
It is marvelous and wonderful
What Jesus has done for this soul of mine
The half has never been told
(3) If fellowship here with my Lord can be
Oh what will it be when his face we see
When round the bright throne we meet (x2)
Wonderful oh it is wonderful
It is marvelous and wonderful
What Jesus has done for this soul of mine
The half has never been told
It has been difficult to find a good video of this hymn, but here are two choices for you to try.
