G               C       G
When I survey the wondrous cross  
        D           G  
On which the Prince of Glory died,  
          G            C       G  
My richest gain I count but loss,  
        D             G  
And pour contempt on all my pride.  

G              C       G  
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,  
        D              G  
Save in the death of Christ, my God!  
        G           C       G  
All the vain things that charm me most,  
        D              G  
I sacrifice them to His blood.  

G                C      G  
See, from His head, His hands, His feet,  
        D              G  
Sorrow and love flow mingled down.  
        G            C       G  
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,  
        D               G  
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?  

G               C       G  
Were the whole realm of nature mine,  
        D               G  
That were a present far too small;  
        G               C     G  
Love so amazing, so divine,  
        D                 G  
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
