- When I Survey The Wondrous Cross Lyrics / with translationsWhen 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
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
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
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

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, When I Survey The Wondrous Cross, the sacred hymn by Selah, plunges into the great and deep mystery of God’s love expressed through Jesus' death on the cross and brings out the human side of this divine act of love with all its pain and anguish. The power of this love is presented as a great and demanding call, asking for nothing less than complete surrender and humility in return.
