Product Description
A new melody for the beloved hymn text. One of the few times the melody has come to me first, its melancholy led me to this hymn text, which I would likely have never revisited otherwise. The piece begins quietly, and builds to the very end on these powerful words "Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all!"
Lyrics
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.
I 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 them to His blood.
I sacrifice them 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.
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
