When I Survey / Oh the Wonderful Cross


Verse 1 (a cappella):

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.


Verse 2:

D      A   D     B/D#  Em  A7     D
Forbid it, Lord, that  I   should boast,

D           G/B   D/A  E/G#      A
Save in the death of   Christ my God;

D       A    D      B/D#  Em    A  D
All the vain things that  charm me most,

D      A    Bm   G6  A   D
I sacrifice them to  His blood.


Chorus:

D      G         D/F#
Oh the wonderful cross

       G         D/F#
Oh the wonderful cross

        G                D/F#            Em    A
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live

       G         D/F#
Oh the wonderful cross

       G         D/F#
Oh the wonderful cross

        G               D/F#                Em         A
All who gather here, by grace draw near and bless Your name.


Verse 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?


repeat Chorus


Verse 4:

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That wre an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
