WHEN I survey the wondrous cross

By A Collection of Hymns


      L.M. Galatians. vi. 14.
      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 a present far too small;
      Love so amazing, so divine,
      Demands my soul, my life, my all.
