When I Survey the Wondrous Cross - Lyrics

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 through his blood


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
