When I Survey The Wondrous Cross cover by Eric Alan Marx.



When I Survey The Wondrous Cross cover by Eric Alan Marx.



But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.  (Galatians 6:14 KJV)



I am singing along with a free MP3 I got Online.  I created it using Zoom.



When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

Isaac Watts, 1707

Lowell Mason, 1824



Verse 1

When I survey the wond'rous Cross

On which the Prince of Glory dy'd,

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

His dying Crimson, like a Robe,

Spreads o'er his Body on the Tree;

Then am I dead to all the Globe,

And all the Globe is dead to me.



Verse 5

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.
