The Story of Wonderful Love
Author: H. L. Gilmour Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: God so loved the world, that he gave his own Son Refrain First Line: Oh, wonderful love! such wonderful love Lyrics: 1 God so loved the world, that he gave his own Son,
In the fulness of time, thus to prove
That he came to redeem, and to herald the theme,
The sweet story of wonderful love.
Refrain:
Oh, wonderful love! such wonderful love!
Far surpassing our thoughts to conceive;
Blessed be his dear name, for lost sinners he came,
With the story of wonderful love.
2 He came to release ev’ry prisoner bound,
Ev’ry fetter of sin to remove;
To make the lame leap, and the sealed lips to speak
The sweet story of wonderful love. [Refrain]
3 When the multitudes thronged him, all eager to hear;
Every need his compassion would move;
And tho’ ages have rolled this same story is told,
The sweet story of wonderful love. [Refrain]
4 On Genneseret’s bosom he crossed the dark wave,
While the billows for mastery strove;
To his friends he drew near, quickly banished their fear,
This same Jesus of wonderful love. [Refrain]
5 This sweet story, so wonderful, never was sung
From the ramparts of glory above
Till the angels of light thrill’d the listening night,
With the story of wonderful love. [Refrain] Scripture: John 3:16 Used With Tune: [God so loved the world, that he gave his own Son]

F. E. Belden
1858 - 1945 Person Name: F. E. B. Arranger of "[I think when I read that sweet story of old]" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
