When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:10 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 through 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.

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Appears in 1,053 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
and press with vigor on;
a heav'nly race demands your zeal,
and an immortal crown,
and an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
hold you in full survey;
forget the steps already trod,
and onward urge your way,
and onward urge your way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
that calls you from on high;
'tis his own hand presents the prize
to your aspiring eye,
to your aspiring eye.
4 That prize with peerless glories bright,
which shall new luster boast,
when victors' wreaths and monarchs' gems
shall blend in common dust,
shall blend in common dust.
5 Blest Savior, introduced by you,
have I my race begun;
and, crowned with vict'ry, at your feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down.

Hymn 109
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 211 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:7-9 First Line: No more, my God, I boast no more Lyrics:
No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of thy Son.
Now, for the love I bear his name,
What was my gain I count my loss;
My former pride I call my shame,
And nail my glory to his cross.
Yes, and I must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus' sake:
O may my soul be found in him,
And of his righteousness partake!
The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before thy throne;
But faith can answer thy demands
By pleading what my Lord has done.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
friend most sure and true:
long my heart was burning,
fainting much and yearning,
thirsting, Lord, for you.
Yours I am, O spotless Lamb,
so will I let nothing hide you,
seek no joy beside you!
2 Let your arms enfold me:
those who try to wound me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Fires may flash and thunder crash;
yea, though sin and hell assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all worldly treasure!
Jesus is my pleasure,
Jesus is my choice.
Hence, all empty glory!
What to me your story
told with tempting voice?
Pain or loss or shame or cross
shall not from my Savior move me,
since he chose to love me.
4 Banish thoughts of sadness,
for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
though the clouds may gather,
those who love the Savior
still have peace within.
Though I bear much sorrow here,
still in you lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 523 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:7-8 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 a 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
my eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me,
and from my humbled heart with shame
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love,
and my own lovelessness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place:
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of thy face;
content unto the world to die,
to know no gain or loss,
my only shame a sinful heart,
my glory all, the cross.

Refrain:

What mercy this, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me! [Refrain]
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Your sunrise turned that night to day;
I woke– the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, your voice I knew;
I rose, went out, and followed you. [Refrain]

for Christ, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain]

it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup;
4 it makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for right;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light;
5 the balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heav'n above.

watch with him one bitter hour:
turn not from his griefs away
teach us, Lord, how we should pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall,
view the Lord of life arraigned.
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss
help us, Lord, to bear our cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finished!" hear him cry
save us, Lord, when death draws nigh.

Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
Author: J. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 499 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress:
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day,--
For who aught to my charge shall lay
Fully absolved through these I am--
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,
Who from the Father's bosom came,--
Who died for me, e'en me t' atone,--
Now for my Lord and God I own.
4 Lord, I believe thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.
5 Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hadst for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; Fullness and Sufficiency of the Atonement

Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:9 Lyrics: 1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
2 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul;
Thy stripes, not mine, contain
The balm that makes me whole.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awful load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
4 Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
5 Thy righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me:
No righteousness avails
Save that which is of Thee.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

do Cristo allí por mí murió,
De todo cuanto estimo aquí,
lo más precioso es su amor.

sino en la cruz de mi Señor.
Las cosas que me encantan más
las sacrifico por su amor.
3 De su cabeza, manos, pies,
preciosa sangre corrió allí.
Corona de es pinas fue
la que Jesús llevó por mí.

dádiva digna de ofrecer.

en cambio exige todo el ser.
