We sing the praise of him who died,
Of him who died upon the cross;
The sinner’s hope let men deride;
For this we count the world but loss.
We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died by Thomas Kelly (1815)
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 vain things that charm me most,
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross by Isaac Watts (1707)
