Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 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?
Verse 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.
