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


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


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


were the whole realm of nature mine
that were an offering far too small
love so amazing, so divine
demands my soul, my life, my all


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


oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross
bids me come and die and find that i may truly live


love so amazing, so divine
demands my soul, my life, my all


it's the beauty and the shame
it's the glory and the name
wonderful cross


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


oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross
bids me come and die and find that i may truly live
