Hymn 7

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,989 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross 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. 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. 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! [His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree: Then am I dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me.] 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.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,266 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:2 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we are called to part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way; while each in expectation lives and waits to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 519 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand– the shadow of a mighty Rock within a weary land, a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess– the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face, content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
