1.

It is a wonder, a mighty wonder!
The greatest wonder on earth by far!
It is a wonder, yes, more than wonder,
Though we be many, yet one we are.
The poor and wretched among the masses—
By one salvation, we’re now brought nigh.
We have been chosen by God in heaven
His name to honor and magnify.

Chorus:

O hallelujah! Yes, hallelujah!
Through every battle we still can sing.
O hallelujah! Yes, hallelujah!
Eternal praises to God our King!

2.

It is a wonder, a mighty wonder!
Sin’s bonds and fetters have burst apart.
It is a wonder, yes, more than wonder:
We drink one Spirit; we’re one in heart.
Here in the body we are abiding
In Jesus’ death and in Jesus’ life.
One faith uniting, Christ’s doctrine guiding,
Dispels all fear and excludes all strife.

3.

Here in the Church we are knit together
By admonition and comfort true.
We hear so clearly the Spirit speaking;
The Word is living and ever new.
All they who conquer, all they who conquer
Shall stand with Jesus in robes of white.
All they who conquer, all they who conquer
In joy eternal shall e’er delight.

4.

O hallelujah! What God has spoken
Will last forever; to Him be praise!
Though we must battle and we must suffer,
He leads and guides us in wondrous ways.
In every trial and tribulation
We see God’s greatness as ne’er before.
Yes, we can count it all joy to suffer.
We’ll sing His praises forevermore.
