When I survey the wondrous cross

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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?

4. 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.

O take my hand dear Father

1. O take my hand, dear Father,
and lead Thou me,
till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee.
Alone I cannot wander
one single day,
so do Thou guide my footsteps
on life’s rough way.

2. O cover with Thy mercy
my poor, weak heart,
lest I in joy or sorrow
from Thee depart.
Permit Thy child to linger
here at Thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting
with faith complete.

3. Though oft Thy power but faintly
may stir my soul,
with Thee, my Light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father,
and lead Thou me,
till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee.

Lead me, Lord

//: Lead me, Lord, 
lead me in Thy righteousness, 
make Thy way plain before my face :// 
//: For it is Thou, Lord, 
Thou, Lord, only, 
that makest me dwell in safety ://
