"What Wondrous Love Is This" is a Christian folk hymn from the American South that was first published in 1811 during the Second Great Awakening. The melody of the hymn is derived from a popular English ballad, and it was likely paired with the text by camp meeting attendees who sang hymns printed in hymnals to a variety of popular melodies. The hymn is widely known and included in many major hymnals, including the Baptist Hymnal, Book of Praise (Presbyterian), Chalice Hymnal (Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)), Common Praise (Anglican), The Hymnal 1982 (Episcopalian), Lutheran Book of Worship, New Century Hymnal (United Church of Christ), Presbyterian Hymnal, Voices United (United Church of Canada), The Worshipping Church (interdenominational), Worship (Roman Catholic), and Singing the Living Tradition (Unitarian Universalist). The hymn has been set to music by various artists and groups, including Fernando Ortega and Koine.
