verse 1
D G D
When I survey the wondrous cross
D G D A
On which the prince of glory died,
D G D
My richest gain I count but loss,
D A A7 D
And pour contempt on all my pride.
verse 2
D G D
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
D G D A
Save in the death of Christ my God!
D G D
All the vain things that charm me most,
D A A7 D
I sacrifice them to His blood.
verse 2
D G D
See from his head, His hands, His feet,
D G D A
Sorrow and love flow mingled down.
D G D
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
D A A7 D
Or thorns compose so rich a crown.
verse 4
D G D
Were the whole relm of nature mine,
D G D A
That were an of-f’ring far to small.
D G D
Love so amazing so divine,
D A A7 D
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
