ENGLISH LYRICS: When I survey the wondrous Cross
But God forbid that I should glory except in the Cross of our lord Jesus Christ. Gal.6:141. When I survey the wondrous Cross
On which the prince of Glory died,
My richest gain l count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2. Forbid it, Lord, that l should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most
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 crow?
4. Where the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Amen.
