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.
2 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?
O, the wonderful cross,
O, the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live.
O, the wonderful cross,
O, the wonderful cross,
All who gather here
By grace draw near and bless your name.
3 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.
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 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?
O, the wonderful cross,
O, the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live.
O, the wonderful cross,
O, the wonderful cross,
All who gather here
By grace draw near and bless your name.
3 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.
