The Water is Wide (When I Survey the Wondrous Cross) on Celtic Harp
Another gorgeous arrangement from Learning the Harp, this is the tune of two songs-The Water is Wide and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. I always sang When I Survey the Wondrous Cross to a different tune, but this one is just as beautiful.
Lyrics for The Water is Wide
The water is wide, I cannot get o’er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She’s loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I’m in
I know not if I sink or swim
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me
(First verse is repeated)
Lyrics for When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
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 blood 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 to small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
My harp is a Dusty Strings Crescendo 34

Thanks! Hymns are the best songs in my opinion. 😊
A truly religious experience. Like angels coming down from heaven on a big white stair
Molto graziosa ed elegante grazie di cuore! ❤
Awesome work! This song really suits the harp :)
Lovely ❤
As usual, such a lovely rendering is so short-lived. The song should be longer; this is certainly a lovely tune, and so elegantly, and well played! Thank you Miss Melora! God's best! - bro Paul -
splendid interpretation, I fell in love ❤
Can't help but love the harp
Well played, that song has a beautiful progression that makes it so special.
Splendid rendition well played.
