When I Survey The Wonderous Cross Lyrics & Chords

Hymn by Isaac Watts

(D)When I survey the (G)wondrous (D)cross

On which the (Em)Prince of (G)glory (A)died,

(D)My richest gain I (G)count but (D)loss,

And pour (Em)contempt on (G)all (A)my (D)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? 



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.
