"When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" - Songtext
von Chris Rice

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

When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross

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

When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross


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?

When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross

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

When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross
When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross
When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross
When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross
When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross
When I survey, when I survey the wondrous cross
