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
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

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

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?

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

(The wonderful cross)
Oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live (the wonderful cross)
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 a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
