Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal ‎#180

180. O Listen to Our Wondrous Story

1 O listen to our wondrous story,
Counted once among the lost;
Yet One came down from heaven's glory,
Saving us at awful cost.

Refrain:
Who saved us from eternal loss?
What did He do? Where is He now?
In heaven interceding!

2 No angel could His place have taken,
Highest of the high tho' he;
The loved One on the cross forsaken
Was One of the Godhead three! [Refrain]

3 Will you surrender to this Savior?
To His scepter humbly bow;
You, too, shall come to know His favor,
He will save you, save you now. [Refrain]
