When I Survey the Wondrous Cross1707 1674-1748
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 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. Gal 2:20; 1 Cor 2:7-8; Acts 3:14-15a; Phil 3:3-8
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 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. Jn 20:28; Gal 6:14; 2 Cor 11:30; 1 Cor 1:18, 26-31
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 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? Mk 15:17-19; Isa 53:3; 1 Jn 3:16
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o’er His body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. Gal 6:14b
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 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. 2 Cor 5:14-15; Gal 2:20
Oh, the wonder and amazement, That a creature, human formed, Can behold the Lamb’s atonement, And not bow, by love disarmed.
Sinner, oh behold His passion, It will melt thy heart of stone; Come, receive His great salvation, Meekly bow, thy Savior own.
