Text: | When I Survey the Wondrous Cross |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | ROCKINGHAM |
Composer: | Edward Miller |
1 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.
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.
3 See, 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 crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering fan too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
