Hymn 7
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,999 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics:
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.
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.
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!
[His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o'er his body on the tree:
Then am I dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.]
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.
Hymn 7
In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,517 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
hopes deceive and fears annoy,
never shall the cross forsake me;
lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
from the cross the radiance, streaming,
adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 525 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand–
the shadow of a mighty Rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess–
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face,
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.

it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup;

and nerves the feeble arm for right;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light;

the angels' theme in heav'n above.

when my eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,

Fashioned for his earthly home;

let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.

serve thee as thy hosts above;
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.

pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,295 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God.
He, whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name.
Fading are the world's best pleasures,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know.

The day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
your tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
your grace has made us strong,
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace;
for not with swords' loud clashing,
nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King eternal:
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er your face appears;
your cross is lifted o'er us;
we journey in its light.
The crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might!

Freely from thy fullness give;
Till I close my earthly race,
Be it Christ for me to live!
3 Firmly trusting in thy blood,
Nothing shall my heart confound;
Safely I shall pass the flood,
Safely reach Immanuel's ground.
4 When I touch the blessed shore,
Back the closing waves shall roll;
Death's dark stream shall never more
Part from thee my ravished soul.
5 Thus, oh, thus an entrance give
To the land of cloudless sky;
Having known it Christ to live,
Let me know it Gain to die.

to spread her Maker's praise abroad;
and every labor of his hands
shows something worthy of a God.
2 But in the grace that saved the world
his brightest form of glory shines;
see on the cross the tale unfold,
in precious blood, and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete,
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where Christ my Savior loved and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would forever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne.
