RCCG HYMN 147

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" - Gal 6:14

CRUCIFIXION 4 VERSES

VERSE 1

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count by 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'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 offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
