[Intro: ]A Esus B C#m A E Bsus B Esus E
E Esus A E Esus
When I survey the wondrous cross
E C#m A Bsus
On which the Prince of Glory died,
B E Emaj7 A C#m
My rich-est gain I count but loss,
A E Bsus B E Esus
And pour con-tempt on all my pride.
E Bsus B E Emaj7 A E Esus
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
E Bsus B/D# C#m A Bsus
Save in the death, of Christ my God!
B B/D# E Emaj7 A C#m
All the vain things that charm me most,
A E Bsus B E Esus
I sacrifice them to His blood.
E Bsus B E Emaj7 A A/B E Esus
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
E Bsus B/D# C#m A B Bsus
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
B B/D# E Emaj7 A C#m
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
A E Bsus B E
Or thorns com-pose so rich a crown?
Instrumental: E Esus (várias vezes)

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
E Bsus B/D# C#m A B Bsus
That were a of - - fering far too small;
B B9 B/D# E A C#m
Love so a – mazing, so div - ine,
A E Bsus B E
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
B E A C#m
Love so amazing, so div - ine,
A E Bsus B E
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
