What Wondrous Love is This - Celtic version - lyric video

A classic hymn, the tune of which was a popular secular folk song at the time. The unusual meter, 6.6.6.3.6.6.6.6.6.3., is also nicknamed as the ‘Captain Kidd’ meter because it refers to an English song which also uses the same poetic meter. The use of this meter appears to go back to 1549. The song has a haunting beautiful melody in Dorian mode, perfect for the Celtic style we've used here. The words, starting with a rhetorical question, go on to expand on God's love and intervention in our lives. The repetition is intentional, and adds weight to the sincerity of the singer's worship. Join us in enjoying, once again, this beautiful old hymn. The words used in this 4-verse version are below: 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this That caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul? 2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down, sinking down. When I was sinking down Beneath God's righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul. 3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing; To God and to the Lamb I will sing; To God and to the Lamb, Who is the great I Am, While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, While millions join the theme, I will sing. 4 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on; And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on; And when from death I'm free, I'll sing his love for me, And through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on; And through eternity I'll sing on.
