693. L. M. Watts.

A View of the Cross.

1When 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.

2Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ, my Lord;

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to his blood.
