11:58.

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

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 an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demand 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

- The Wondrous Cross
