When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

[Mhiriam]

I think this is one of the best - probably would be very unpopular amongst non-Christians, though! (This and How Deep the Father's Love, I think)

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?

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.

That's one of my favorites. You've posted the most common Anglican setting. This is the tune I grew up singing:

I prefer that tune, it's got more movement.

My speakers don't work! I don't know which tune I posted!

Actually, another really unpopular one would be Servant King - I love that one!

This is a beautiful song.
