There is a beautiful, terrible cross,
Where, though You committed no sin,

On the cruelest creation of man.

You did what only You could:
Turning that dark inspired evil of hell
Into our soul's greatest good.

We see the love that You showed us;
We see the life that You lost.
We bow in wonder and praise You
For the beautiful, terrible cross.  

There on that beautiful, terrible cross,
Though darkness was strong on that hill,
You remained sovereign, Lord, still in control
As Your perfect plan was fulfilled.

We see the love that You showed us;
We see the life that You lost.
We bow in wonder and praise You
For the beautiful, terrible cross.

Oh, we gained the riches of heaven.
Jesus, You paid the horrible cost.
We stand forgiven, and praise You
For the beautiful, terrible cross,
For the beautiful, terrible cross.  

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever.
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
