Text: | When I survey the wondrous Cross |
Author: | Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
Tune: | ROCKINGHAM (COMMUNION) |
Arranger: | Edward Miller, 1731 - 1807 |
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.
Amen.
