When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Lyrics

When I survey the wonderous cross

On which the Prince of glory dies

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 Lord

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're 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

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're 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

Demands my soul

My life, my all
