My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. Amen. Scripture: Galatians 5:25 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts; Pauline Martin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,998 hymnals Topics: Calling and Response First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Quand je me tourne vers la croix) 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. 1 Quand je me tourne vers le croix où Christ expire su le bois mon coeur blessé rempli du deuil, prend en dégoût mon fol orgueil. 2 Qui donc pourrait calmer ce coeur hormis la crois de mon Sauveur? Tous mes plaisirs, mes vains désirs, je veux, ô Christ, te les offrir. 3 Oh vois, des mains, de son côté, du front d'épines couronné, douleur, angoisse, amour mêlés, descendre pour nous racheter. 4 Si je t'offrais le monde entier ce don serait pris es pitié. Amour si grand, si pur, si doux veut âme, corps, mon coeur, mon tout! Used With Tune: COMMUNION (ROCKINGHAM)
