from "Hymns of the Son"

Intro/Interludes: F
F C Bb C
When I survey the wondrous cross
F C Bb C
On which the Prince of glory died,
F C Bb C
My richest gain I count but loss
F C Bb F
And pour contempt on all my pride.
F C Bb C
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
F C Bb C
Save in the death of Christ, my God.
F C Bb C
All the vain things that charm me most,
F C Bb F
I sacrifice them through his blood.
F C Bb C
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
F C Bb C
Sorrow and love flow mingled down.
F C Bb C
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
F C Bb C
Or thorns compose so rich a crown.
F C Bb C
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
F C Bb C
That were an offering far too small.
F C Bb C
Love so amazing, so divine,
F C Bb C F
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
