Song Info

Intro: (1.5 measures; 4/4) D | / / / / | / / When I sur-… D 1. When I survey the wondrous cross Bm Em A On which the Prince of glory died, F#m Bm My richest gain I count but loss, A D And pour contempt on all my pride. D 2. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Bm Em A Sorrow and love flow mingled down; F#m Bm Did e’er such love and sorrow meet? A D Or thorns compose so rich a crown? D 3. Since I, who was undone and lost, Bm Em A Have pardon through His name and word; F#m Bm Forbid it, then, that I should boast, A D Save in the cross of Christ my Lord. D 4. Were the whole realm of nature mine, Bm Em A That were a tribute far too small; F#m Bm Love so amazing, so divine, A D G D Demands my life, my soul, my all. A-men.
