When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts; Pauline Martin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,043 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)

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: Calling and Response Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

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