5115) When I survey the wondrous Cross

** ENGLISH LYRICS **

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 Cross
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. His dying, crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o'er his body on the tree; 
Then am I dead to all the globe, 
And all the globe is dead to me.
