E A E
When I survey the wondrous cross
C#m A B
On which the Prince of glory died
C#m A E B
My richest gain I count but loss
C#m A E B
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
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 a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Words and Music by Isaac Watts
Oh the Wonderful Cross (Medley)
VERSE 1:
D G D
When I survey the wondrous cross
D G D A
On which the Prince of glory died,
D G D
My richest gain I count but loss,
D A D
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?
CHORUS:
A D A D
Oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross
G D A
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
A D A D
Oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross
G D
All who gather here by grace draw near
A
And bless Your name
VERSE 2:
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!
(VERSE 3 - Not Performed)
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.
