The Wonderful Cross |
When I survey the wondrous cross |
On which the prince of glory died |
My richest gain I count but loss |
And pour contempt on all my pride |
Forbid it Lord that I should boast |
Safe in the death of Christ my guide |
All living things that charm me most |
I sacrifice them to his blood |
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross |
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live |
See from his head, his hands, his feet |
Sorrow and love flow mingled down |
Did ever such love and sorrow meet |
Or thorns compose so rich a crown |
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross |
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless |
Your name |
Were the whole realm of nature mine |
That were an offering far to small |
Love so amazing, so divine |
Demands my soul, my life, my all |
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross |
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live |
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross |
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless |
Your name |
