WHEN I SURVEY
Lyrics
Verse 1:
When 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
Chorus:
Love so amazing, so divine
Seen on a cross, Lamb of God sacrificed
Born among men, and born to die
Forever His Church preaching Christ crucified
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
Chorus:
Love so amazing, so divine
Seen on a cross, Lamb of God sacrificed
Born among men, and born to die
Forever His Church preaching Christ crucified
Verse 3:
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Chorus:
Love so amazing, so divine
Seen on a cross, Lamb of God sacrificed
Born among men, born to die
Forever His Church preaching Christ crucified
