#575 The good Old Songs

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 cross of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His cause.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did ever such love and sorrow meet?
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole ream of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Scriptural Verse

Notable Quotes: "For two centuries, no one questioned the obvious. It was understood that, while everyone was free to believe and practice as conscience dictated, the moral foundations of America rested on the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The founders enacted few laws partly because they understood the wisdom that the fewer the laws, the broader the agreement. At the same time, they saw no need for certain secular laws, because of what they regarded as God's law. In their thinking, the Bible was a given. The combination of all these factors rendered American society infinitely more tolerant than any other." Balint Vazsonyi from his book America's 30 years War
