Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #186 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Galatians 6:14 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. Topics: God the Son Lent; Christian Year-Holy Week; Jesus Christ-Cross; Jesus Christ-Love For Us Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG
