The hymn "Wondrous Love" is one of the most beloved contributions of the American Revivalist period, masterfully expressing the awe, humility, hope and joy of the Paschal mystery and our resurrection. This new iteration, composed as a seasonal call to worship for Lent, utilizes the powerful first verse in a common refrain, and a fusion of new and traditional verses for reflection. The arrangement of this piece is carefully crafted to create a sense of anticipation and hopefulness.
