bid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; 3. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sor-row and love flow min-gled down! 4. Were the whole realm of na ture mine, That were a present far too small;

My rich-est gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.
All the vain things that charm me most, I sac-ri-fice them to His blood.
Did e'er such love and sor-row meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Love so amazing, so di vine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
