| Text: | 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 Lord;
The vain things that now tempt me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
The pain and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were ev'ry realm of nature mine,
My gift would still be far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
