When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Atonement 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. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Can grace sufficient means afford To make the foe a child! 3 Yes, grace has sound the wond'rous means Which shall effectual prove; To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4 Jesus for us a ransom paid, And dy'd that we might live; His blood a full atonement made, And cr'd aloud, FORGIVE. 5 Yet one thing more mus grace provide, To bring us home to God; Or we shall slight the Lord, who dy'd, And trample on his blood. 6 The holy Spirit must reveal The Saviour's work and worth: Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heav'nly birth. 7 Thus bought with blood, and born again, Redeem'd and sav'd by grace; Rebels in God's own house obtain A son's and daughters place.
