When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,009 hymnals Topics: liturgical Communion Songs First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Watts) 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. Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is, none but his loved ones know. 4 Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now, and through eternity.

Sing Joyfully, 1989
