Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Christ in Song #172 (1908) First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross 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 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?
3 Since I, who was undone and lost,
Have pardon thro' his name and word;
Forbid it, then, that I should boast,
Save in the cross of Christ, my Lord.
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a tribute far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my life, my soul, my all. Topics: Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: McCABE
