Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #148 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 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 far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Consecration; Cross Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG
