When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,056 hymnals Topics: Praise and Thanksgiving Songs to Remember the Work of the Son 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.

Come with All Joy to Sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Remembering Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty King, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean floor to mountain crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to God who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, God alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear his voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their Saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest.
