When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:2 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 a present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

God it is who hears our crying though the spark of faith be dim; taste and see! Beyond denying blest are those who trust in him. 3 Taste and see! In faith draw near him, trust the Lord with all your powers; seek and serve him, love and fear him, life and all its joys are ours-- true delight in holy living, peace and plenty, length of days; come, my children, with thanksgiving bless the Lord in songs of praise. 4 In our need he walks beside us, ears alert to every cry; watchful eyes to guard and guide us, love that whispers, "It is I."
