The Wonderful Cross

Music by Lowell Mason, Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves and J. D. Walt, words by Isaac Watts, Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves and J. D. Walt


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 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.
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.
