Hymns

A wondrous wine there is,

by John Berridge·1814·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)

Based on Judges 9:13

1

A wondrous wine there is,
None can with it compare,
Creating most exalted bliss,
Which God and man will cheer.

2

It is the wine of Love,
That precious love divine
Which knits and cheers all hearts above,
And makes their faces shine.

3

Believers know its taste,
And can its virtues tell;
Oft when their hearts are sinking fast,
One sip has made them well.

4

It is the cordial true;
Lord, cheer me with it still;
Till at thy seat I drink it new,
And take my hearty fill.
