Good Friday – God’s Friday!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I survey the wondrous cross
\nOn which the Prince of glory died,
\nMy richest gain I count but loss,
\nAnd pour contempt on all my pride.<\/p>\n

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
\nSave in the death of Christ my God!
\nAll the vain things that charm me most,
\nI sacrifice them to His blood.<\/p>\n

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
\nSorrow and love flow mingled down!
\nDid e\u2019er such love and sorrow meet,
\nOr thorns compose so rich a crown?<\/p>\n

His dying crimson, like a robe,
\nSpreads o\u2019er His body on the tree;
\nThen I am dead to all the globe,
\nAnd all the globe is dead to me.<\/p>\n

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
\nThat were a present far too small;
\nLove so amazing, so divine,
\nDemands my soul, my life, my all.<\/p>\n
