When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Verse 1
When I sur­vey the won­drous cross
On which the Prince of glo­ry died, (Matt. 27:35, Mark 15:24-25, Luke 23:33, John 19:18, I Cor. 2:8)
My rich­est gain I count but loss, (Phil. 3:7-8)
And pour con­tempt on all my pride. (Jer. 9:23-24)

Verse 2
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God! (Gal. 6:14, I Cor. 1:29-31)
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sac­ri­fice them to His blood. (Phil. 3:8)

Verse 3
See from His head, His hands, His feet, (Ps. 22:16, Luke 24:39-40, John 20:25)
Sorrow and love flow min­gled down!
Did e’er such love and sor­row meet, (Isa. 53:5, John 15:13)
Or thorns com­pose so rich a crown? (Matt. 27:29, Mark 15:17, John 19:2, John 19:5)

Verse 4
His dy­ing crim­son, like a robe,
Spreads o’er His bo­dy on the tree; (Col. 1:20, I Pet. 2:24)
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me. (Gal. 6:14)

Verse 5
Were the whole realm of na­ture mine,
That were a pre­sent far too small; (Mic. 6:6-7)
Love so am­az­ing, so di­vine, (John 3:16, I John 3:16)
Demands my soul, my life, my all. (Rom. 12:1, I Cor. 6:19-20, II Cor. 5:14-15, Deut. 6:5, Deut. 10:12, Deut. 11:13, Deut. 13:3, Deut. 30:6, Joshua 22:5, Matt. 23:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27)

Verse 6
To Christ, who won for sin­ners grace
By bit­ter grief and ang­uish sore, (Isa. 53:3-5, Luke 22:44, Eph. 1:7, Heb. 2:9)
Be praise from all the ran­somed race (Rev. 5:9-13)
Forever and for­ev­er­more. (Rev. 5:9-13, Rev. 7:9-10, Ps. 45:17)
