O wondrous Christ, O blessed Lord,
Who hath to me His mercy shown,
He bade me come with gentle word,
Then took away my heart of stone.

Chorus:
He took away my heart of stone,
I am the Lord’s and His alone;
He gave me peace and perfect rest,
He folds me closely to His breast.

For ev’ry need He doth provide,
A love like His no heart hath known,
He drew me closely to His side,
And took away my heart of stone. [Chorus]

He called me gently o’er and o’er,
My life at last became His own,
O bless His name forevermore,
He took away my heart of stone. [Chorus]
