When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals 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 Lord; The vain things that now tempt me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, the pain and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were ev'ry realm of nature mine, My gift would still be far too small: Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
