Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #114 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 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 a tribute far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all! Topics: Atonement; Holy Cross Day; Passion Week Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM OLD
