168. Oh, the sweet wonders of that cross

1 Oh, the sweet wonders of that cross
Where my Redeemer loved and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
From His dear wounds and bleeding side.

2 I would for ever speak His name
In sounds to mortal ears unknown;
With angels join to praise the Lamb,
And worship at His Father's throne.

3 O Lord, the Lord of lords, to Thee
Eternal praise and glory be;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost for evermore.

Amen.
