When I Survey The Wondrous Cross Lyrics

Verse 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

Verse 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.

Chorus
Oh the wonderful cross
Oh the wonderful cross
bids me come and die
and find that I may truly live

Oh the wonderful cross
Oh the wonderful cross
All who gather hear
By grace draw near
And bless your name

Verse 3
See from His head His hands His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Verse 4
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all
