And pour conte | mpt | on | all | my p | ride. |
Forbid it Lord that I should boast, |
Save in the death or 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 mingling 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 an off'ring far too small. |
Love so amazing, so divine, |
Demands my soul, my life, my all. |
