When I survey the wondrous cross<\/span>
\n On which the Prince of glory died,<\/span>
\n My richest gain I count but loss,<\/span>
\n And pour contempt on all my pride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,<\/span>
\n Save in the death of Christ my God!<\/span>
\n All the vain things that charm me most,<\/span>
\n I sacrifice them to His blood<\/span><\/p>\n

See from His head, His hands, His feet,<\/span>
\n Sorrow and love flow mingled down!<\/span>
\n Did e\u2019er such love and sorrow meet,<\/span>
\n Or thorns compose so rich a crown?<\/span><\/p>\n

His dying crimson, like a robe,<\/span>
\n Spreads o\u2019er His body on the tree;<\/span>
\n Then I am dead to all the globe,<\/span>
\n And all the globe is dead to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Were the whole realm of nature mine,<\/span>
\n That were a present far too small;<\/span>
\n Love so amazing, so divine,<\/span>
\n Demands my soul, my life, my all.<\/span><\/p>\n

To Christ, who won for sinners grace<\/span>
\n By bitter grief and anguish sore,<\/span>
\n Be praise from all the ransomed race<\/span>
\n Forever and forevermore.<\/span><\/p>\n
