When I Survey The Wondrous Cross


G                            C               G                             C               G      D
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died,
G                          C              G                            D                        G
My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.


G                              C            G                            C             G               D
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God.
G                                   C               G                   D                        G
All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.


G                                       C                 G                         C             G             D
See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down.
G                                     C         G                                D                      G
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown?


G                                        C          G                           C           G          D
Were the whole realm of nature, mine, that were a present far too small.
G                            C        G                            D                        G
Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
