When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Isaac Watts |
When I survey the wonderous cross on which the Prince of glory died
My riches gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my prideForbid 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 bloodSee, 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 crownWere 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
