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 I am 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. | |
To Christ, who won for sinners grace | |
By bitter grief and anguish sore, | |
Be praise from all the ransomed race | |
Forever and forevermore. |
