Hymn of the Week--I Stand Amazed in the Presence

After getting some great suggestions on further hymns, we have decided to not go back and repeat our list. We sang this hymn in church yesterday. I LOVE IT! I will include all of the verses below. They are all so rich. The theme of this one and many that I love is the amazing love that God has for "a sinner, condemned, unclean" like me. I always like when the last verse of the hymn ends in heaven. It's a great preview of our eventual consummation.

Hymn of the Week
I Stand Amazed in the Presence
Words by Charles H. Gabriel
Music by Edwin O. Excell
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O 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 griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.
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.
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.
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.
