When I survey the wondrous cross
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,018 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 cross 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 His dying crimson, like a robe,
spreads o'er his body on the tree:
then am I dead to all the globe,
and all the globe is dead to me.
5 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. Topics: Children and All-Age Worship; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Devotion; God Love of; Good Friday; Passiontide; Self-offering; The Fifth Sunday of Lent Year A Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:28-30 Used With Tune: SUTHERAN
When I survey the wondrous cross
I do not know tomorrow's way
Author: Margaret Clarkson (1915-2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I do not know tomorrow's way,
if dark or bright its hours may be;
but I know Christ, and come what may,
I know that he abides with me.
2 I do not know what may befall
of grief or gladness, peace or pain;
but I know Christ, and through it all
I know his presence will sustain.
3 I do not know when evening falls,
if soon or late earth's day grows dim;
but I know Christ, and when he calls,
I know he'll call me home to him. Topics: Wholeness and Healing; Assurance; Change; Future hope; God Presence of; Trust and Confidence Scripture: John 14:1-4 Used With Tune: SUTHERAN
