- Verse 1
- When I survey the wond'rous 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 mingled down!
- Did e’re such love and sorrow meet,
- Or thorns compose so rich a crown
- Verse 41
- His dying crimson, Like a robe,
- Spreads o’er His body on the tree;
- Then am I dead to all the globe,
- And all the globe is dead to me
- Verse 5
- 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.
