When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Fsus	F	Gm9	F/A
When I sur	vey the	wondrous	cross,

	Fsus/Bb	F/A	Fsus/Bb	C
On which the	Prince	of glo -	ry	died,

Fsus	F	Gm9	F/A
My richest	gain I	count but	loss,

	Fsus/Bb	C	Fsus
And pour con	tempt on	all my	pride.

Forbit 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 e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns comprise so rich a crown?

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.

Lyrics: Isaac Watts, 1707
Tune: Based on plainsong melody; Lowell Mason, 1824
