When I Survey The Wonderous Cross Lyrics

When I Survey The Wonderous Cross

words: Isaac Watts music: Lowell Mason

verse

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

verse

Forbid it Lord that I should boast

Save in the death of Christ my God

All the vain things that charm me most

I sacrificed them to His blood

verse

See from Hid head His hands His feet

Sorrow and love flow mingled down

Did ere such love and sorrow meet

Or thorns compose so rich a crown

verse

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
