I have already blogged this Easter tune here under the tune ROCKINGHAM. GAB uses HAMBURG instead.
The text is by Isaac Watts and the tune by Lowell Mason.
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!
The vain things that now charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
the pain and love flow mingled down.
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?4 Were ev’ry realm of nature mine,
my gift would still be far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
