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


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

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
