The Little Seraph ‎#12

12. Clinging to the cross

1 When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but lost,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Chorus:
The cross, the cross, the precious cross,
The wondrous cross of Jesus;
From all our sin, its guilt and pow'r,
And ev'ry stain it frees us.
Then I'm clinging, clinging, clinging,
Oh, I'm clinging to the cross;
Yes, I'm clinging, clinging, clinging,
clinging to the cross.
