SS&S 115 When I survey the wondrous cross

SS&S 115: When I survey the wondrous cross

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 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 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.
