Song based on the Bible verse:
Galatians 6:14
But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Song written by:
Original in English: Isaac Watts
1
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
2
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
3
See from His head His hands His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
4
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

4
His dying crimson like a robe
Spreads o’er His body on the tree
Then I am dead to all the globe
And all the globe is dead to me
5
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
6
To Christ who won for sinners grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore
