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. 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 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 a present far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all For Him I give my life, my all

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross, where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it someday for a crown To the old rugged cross I will ever be true Its shame and reproach gladly bear Then He'll call me someday to my home far away Where His glory forever I'll share So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it someday for a crown I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it someday for a crown

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine Oh what a foretaste of glory divine Heir of salvation, purchase of God Born of His spirit, washed in His blood This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. Perfect submission, perfect delight Visions of rapture now burst on my sight Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
