How Marvellous

[Grietjie]

Hi - does any one knows where the song "How wonderful. How marvellous, and my song shall ever me.... I stand amazed in the presence..." originated from?

MY SAVIOR'S LOVE
by The Harvesters

I stand amazed in the presence,
Of Jesus the Nazarene;
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned unclean.

How marvelous how wonderful,
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous how wonderful,
Is my Savior's love for me.

For me it was in the garden,
He prayed "Not my will but thine"
He had no tears for His own grief,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.

How marvelous how wonderful,
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous how wonderful,
Is my Savior's love for me.

When with the ransomed in Glory,
His face I at last shall see;
Will be my joy through the ages,
To sing of His love for me.

How marvelous how wonderful,
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous how wonderful,
Is my Savior's love for me.

GABRIEL, CHARLES HUTCHINSON (1856-1932)

Charles H. Gabriel, music editor of the Rodeheaver Publishing Company, was one of the best-known and most prolific gospel songwriters of the early 20th century. Mr. Gabriel wrote the lyrics, and frequently the music as well, for thousands of gospel songs. His gospel songs were used regularly by Homer Rodeheaver during the Billy Sunday evangelistic crusades starting circa 1910.
