Author: Isaac Watts; W. T. T. Millham Hymnal: Voices Together #323 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Mark 15:16-39 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 through 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 off’ring far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
1 La cruz excelsa al contemplar
do Cristo allí por mí murió,
nada se puede comparar
a las riquezas de su amor.
2 No me permitas, Dios, gloriar,
sino en la cruz de mi Señor,
lo que más pueda ambicionar
lo sacrifico por su amor.
3 Veo en su rostro, manos, pies,
las marcas vivas del dolor;
es imposible comprender
tal sufrimiento y tanto amor.
4 El mundo entero no será
dádiva digna de ofrecer.
Amor tan grande, sin igual,
en cambio, exige todo el ser. Topics: Blood of Christ; Commitment; Jesus Christ Death of Tune Title: HAMBURG
