Full 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 Cross of Christ my God;
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 mingling down:
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown.
UNISON
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.
DESCANT FOR LAST VERSE
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.
