When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Lyrics
Verse 1
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
On Which The Prince Of Glory Dyed,
My Richest Gain I Count But Loss,
And Pour Contempt On All My Pride.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
See From His Head, His Hands, His Feet,
Sorrow And Love Flow Mingled Down!
Did Ever Such Love And Sorrow Meet?
Or Thorns Compose So Rich A Crown?
Verse 4
His Dying Crimson, Like A Robe,
Spreads O’er His Body On The Tree;
Then Am I Dead To All The Globe,
And All The Globe Is Dead To Me.
Verse 5
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.
