When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,995 hymnals Topics: liturgical Communion Songs First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Watts) 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 a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Psalter Hymnal, 1987

When Strangers stand and hear me tell

Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Christ Communion with Him and Saints; Heaven Christ's Dwelling Place; Song of Solomon paraphrased Lyrics: 1 When Strangers stand and hear me tell What Beauties in my Saviour dwell; Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too. 2 My best Beloved keeps his Throne On Hills of Light, in Worlds unknown; But he descends, and shows his Face In the young Gardens of his Grace. [3 In Vineyards planted by his Hand, Where fruitful Trees in Order stand; He feeds among the spicy Beds, Where Lilies show their spotless Heads. 4 He has engross'd my warmest Love, No earthly Charms my Soul can move: I have a Mansion in his Heart, Nor Death nor Hell shall make us part.] 5 He takes my Soul e'er I'm aware, And shews me where his Glories are, No Chariot of Amminadab The heav'nly Rapture can describe. [6 O may my Spirit daily rise On Wings of Faith above the Skies, Till Eeath shall make my last Remove, To dwell for ever with my Love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 6:1-3
