1  When  I  sur - vey   the-e   won  - drou-ous  cross
2  Forbid   it,   Lord, tha-at  I      shou-ould boast,
3  See, from His  head, Hi--is  hands, Hi---is   feet,
4  Were the whole realm o---of  na  -  tu---ure  mine,
 
   F            Bb     F---C   G7      Am7-Dm  C
1  On which the Prince o---of  glo  -  ry--y   died,
2  Save in the  death  o---of  Christ, my--y   God;
3  Sorrow and   love   flo-ow  min  -  gle-led down;

3  Did e'er such love   a---and  sor - ro-ow meet,
4  Love so   a - maz  - i---ing, so    di-i -vine,
 
   (F)           C     Dm   Gm7   F--C  F
1  And pour con -tempt on   all   my-y  pride.
2  I  sacri  -   fice  them to    Hi-is blood.
3  Or thorns com-pose  so   rich  a--a  crown?
4  Demands my    soul, my   life, my-y  all.
