The Wonderful Cross

Verse 1
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.

Verse 2
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

Chorus
Oh the wonderful cross! Oh the wonderful cross!
Bids me come and die, and find that I may truly live!
Oh the wonderful cross! Oh the wonderful cross!
All who gather here, by grace draw near and bless Your name

Verse 3
See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an off’ring far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all

Chorus
