When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

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 Lord;
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?

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.
