Author: I. Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: HTC #147b (1987) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count as loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ my God:
the very 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:
when did 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! Topics: God, Saviour Suffering and Dying; Lent 5, The King and the Kingdom The Victory of the Cross; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY
