Ordinary Time - 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

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I've sacrificed them to His blood

The cross by faith I see
Within its shadow I will hide
His blood avails for me
For me the Prince of Glory died

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my life, my soul, my all
