Good Friday

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 cross 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 an offering far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Isaac Watts
