When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Galatians 6:14)

 

LYRICS

VERSE ONE

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

VERSE TWO

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?

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

ENDING

Love so amazing, so divine

Demands my soul, my life, my all

Demands my soul, my life, my all
