When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (La cruz excelsa al contemplar)

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; W. T. T. Millham, 1880-1961 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,044 hymnals Topics: Salvation 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 La cruz excelsa al contemplar do mi Señor por mí murió, nada se pueda ambicionar a las riquezas de su amor. 2 No me permitas, Dios, gloriar sino en la cruz de mi Señor; lo que más pueda ambicionar lo sacrifico por su amor. 3 Veo en su rostro, manos, pies, las marcas vivas del dolor; es imposible comprender tal sufrimiento y tanto amor. 4 El mundo entero no será dádiva digna de ofrecer; amor tan grande, sin igual, en cambio exige todo el ser.
