I stand amazed in the presence

1	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!
		How marvelous! O How wonderful!

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. 

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. 

4	He took my sins and my sorrows,
	He made them His very own;
	He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
	And suffered, and died alone. 

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.
