WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS

THE HOLY FACE OF MANOPPELLO

What wondrous love is this
O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this, 
O my soul?
What wondrous love is this
That cause the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul, For my soul?
To bear the dreadful curse 
For my soul?

To God and to the Lamb
I will sing, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb, 
I will sing
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I AM
While millions join the theme
I will sing, I will sing
While millions join the theme 
I will sing

And when from death I'm free
I'll sing on, I'll sing on
And when from death I'm free 
I'll sing on
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing and joyful be
And through eternity
I'll sing on, I'll sing on
And through eternity, 
I'll sing on






"Your Face O Lord I seek.
(Prayer of Pope Benedict XVI before the face of Manoppello)

"Seeking the Face of Jesus 
must be the longing of all Christians, 
indeed, we are  ‘the generation’ 
which seeks His Face in our day,  
 the Face of  the  ‘God  of  Jacob.’ 
If we persevere in our quest for the 
Face of the Lord,
at the end of our earthly pilgrimage,
He, Jesus, will be our eternal joy,
our reward and glory forever.”

[Pope Benedict XVI, September 1, 2006]
