- 1When 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.
- 2See, 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?
- 3Were 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.
