AnthemAll Because of the Wonderful CrossArr. McDonald

When I survey the wondrous cross where 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.

On Calvary, He died on a tree. For me, He paid the cost. My song will be eternally all because of the wonderful cross.

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?

*Hymn of Response # 330Hail, O Once Despised Jesus

There will be an opportunity during the singing of the final hymn to respond to God in a tangible way. Everyone is invited to come to the front of the sanctuary to pray quietly with one of our ministers as the hymn is sung. This could be a time of personal prayer, a first-time commitment to Christ, a renewal of faith, or any other need that God places on our hearts.
