When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,006 hymnals Topics: Love of God for Us 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 present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Scripture: Matthew 26:28 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heav'nly wine, And teach them, in the testing, To know your gift divine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in your pureness, So tender in your love; That, guarded by your presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their hearts may seek your guidance, And love you faithfully. 4 Unless you build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Unless you bless it, Savior, The joy will turn to pain; But none can break the union Of hearts in you made one; The love your Spirit blesses Is endless love begun.
