Reflections on the Wondrous Cross
Reflecting on the profound sacrifice of Christ on the cross, the hymn speaks of counting worldly gains as loss, sacrificing pride, and acknowledging the unmatched love and sorrow in the act. It calls for a humble boasting only in the death of Christ and surrendering all to His divine love. The imagery of love mingled with sorrow invites contemplation on the extraordinary sacrifice made for humanity.

Presentation Transcript
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. [Sing to the Lord 295]
2. 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 through his blood.
3. 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?
4. 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. Sing to the Lord 295 Public domain Text: Isaac Watts, 1707 Tune: Arr. Edward Miller, 1790
