Daddy, Why is this night more special than all other nights?
<Now take time to explain how, He in mercy, called us up and out of our
Lands of Bondage>
WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDEROUS CROSS
Isaac Watts
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 a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless your name, as we the clay
vessels, glorify Him
