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.
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
His dying crimson, like a robe
Spreads over His body on the tree
Then I am dead to all the globe
And all the globe is dead to me.
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.
To Christ, who won for sinners grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore.
