Lutheran Hymnal: 054 - When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
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.
2
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.
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?
4
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small!
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
