When I Survey the Wondrous Cross ================================ w: Isaac Watts, 1707 (based on Gal. 6:14) m: Trad. English Melody Tune: O Waly Waly Meter: LM arr: Bob Sorem [Verse 1] 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. [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 off'ring far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
