When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

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 love flow mingled down
Did ev’r such love and sorrow meet, on thorns compose so rich a crown

Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all
