When I Survey The Wondrous Cross Chords

(ver. 1)
Isaac Watts
[Verse 1]

D    G    D       G        D
When I survey the wondrous cross
             G         Bm    A    A7
On which the Prince of glory died,
D  G       D      G         D
My richest gain I count but loss,
            Em    G  A   A7 D
And pour contempt on all my pride.

[Verse 2]

D  G       D          G        D
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
            G        Bm        A    A7
Save in the death of Christ my God!
D   G        D           G        D
All the vain things that charm me most,
       Em   G    A  A7  D
I sacrifice them to His blood.


[Verse 3]

D   G        D         G          D
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
           G         Bm      A     A7
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
D   G         D        G      D
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
             Em   G  A    A7 D
Or thorns compose so rich a  crown?


[Verse 4]

D    G         D        G      D
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
            G       Bm      A      A7
That were a present far too small;
D    G   D       G    D
Love so amazing, so divine,
           Em    G  A     A7  D
Demands my soul, my life, my  all.
