<p>1 <a href="https://hymnary.org/text/when_i_survey_the_wondrous_cross_watts">When I survey the wondrous cross</a><br>on which the Prince of glory died,<br>my richest gain I count but loss,<br>and pour contempt on all my pride.<br></p>



<p>2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast<br>save in the death of Christ, my God!<br>All the vain things that charm me most,<br>I sacrifice them through his blood.<br></p>



<p>3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,<br>sorrow and love flow mingled down.<br>Did e&#8217;er such love and sorrow meet,<br>or thorns compose so rich a crown?<br></p>



<p>4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,<br>that were a present far too small.<br>Love so amazing, so divine,<br>demands my soul, my life, my all.&nbsp;<br></p>



<p>Isaac Watts: 1674-1748 Psalter Hymnal, 1987 (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhHCgmZFw74">Music Lowell Mason 1792-1872) </a></p>



<ol><li><em>Du, Ehrenkönig Jesus Christ / Verurteilt Du, weil Heiland der Welt / Des Vaters Zorn dort auf Dich zogst / Sein Urteil daher uns gnädig trifft. </em></li><li><em>Die Dornenkron ziert Dich bitterschön / All Schmerz uns vertretend Du littst / Dein Leib zermartert Gott zu versöhn / Du, Mensch und Gott in Dir verbindst. </em></li><li><em>Dein Tod der Brunn unseres Lebens nun ist / Da Liebe, Gnade, Fried uns zugut / Zufließen uns in Deinem Blut / Heilsströme Seligkeit Lebensmut.</em></li><li><em>Wenn ich Dich dort am Kreuze betracht / Wo Du für mich Gotts Strafe ertrugst. Alles sonst in gar Nichts verblasst / Eigenruhm flaut, neu Zutrauen sprosst. </em></li><li><em>Wäre die Welt zu verschenken nur mein / So wär sie zu klein als Vergeltung Dir / Dein Lieb, so wundersam, so fein / Mein Leben gehört so verdient Dir.        </em></li></ol>



<p>Wilhelm Weber, Wittenberg 2019</p>
