Phillip Sandifer - When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

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 sacrifice them to his blood.

Refrain:
The Cross, the Wondrous Cross
His sacrifice, for us, for us

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?

Refrain:

The Cross, the Wondrous Cross
His sacrifice, for us, for us
The Cross, the Wondrous Cross
His sacrifice, for us, for us

Refrain:

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.
