We believe this may be the finest hymn in the English language (written by Isaac Watts centuries ago). Though we couldn't possibly improve the lyrics, we hope this new melody is true to the power of those words.
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
(new melody)
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
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
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
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
Words: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
