When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #70 (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Son of God, Thy power Hath triumphed in this awful hour: And yet our eyes with sorrow see That life to us was death to Thee. 4 'Tis finished! let the joyful sound Be heard through all the nations round: 'Tis finished! let the triumph rise, And swell the chorus of the skies.

I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death: Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.
