ISAAC WATTS (1674–1748).
WHEN I survey the wondrous On which the Prince of glory died,My richest gain I count but loss,And pour contempt on all my pride.
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.
See from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down;Cross,Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
His dying crimson like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the Tree;Then am I dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me.
Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small;Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
