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 death 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?
VERSE 4
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an off'ring far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
